What does this area cover?

It covers fraud, corporate fraud, embezzlement, breach of trust, money laundering, cryptocurrency fraud and financial forgery.

These cases are document-heavy, so we begin by working out what the paper shows.

How do you choose the right service?

Choose by the allegation. If more than one applies, we plan the defence across them.

A single set of facts is often charged under several headings.

What should I do first?

  1. Collect the financial records

    Statements, contracts and transfers.

  2. Do not move assets

    Transfers during a case can be misread.

  3. Avoid contact with the complainant

    Settlement should go through us.

  4. Call us early

    Records are easiest to secure early.
