Civil Fraud

Back to Commercial Dispute Resolution & Avoidance

Our commercial dispute resolution and avoidance specialists will be able to quickly get to grips with your concerns whether you are accused of civil fraud or whether your business has been a victim of fraud.

We appreciate that emotions can run high in disputes involving allegations of fraud and therefore, they need to be handled promptly and sensitively.

We have particular experience of acting for businesses in situations where there has been a discovery of a dishonest employee who, despite all safeguards, has managed to siphon off large sums of money by various methods. In such cases, we are able to provide specialist advice on tracing and freezing assets, where appropriate to do so. Our specialists have also previously worked with investigators to locate individuals and establish how misappropriated funds have been spent.

Amongst other causes of action, we are able to advise on the following fraud related matters:

Fraudulent misrepresentation
Dishonest assistance
Knowing receipt
Unlawful means conspiracy
Wrongful trading
Unjust enrichment

We are able to take urgent action on your behalf to secure injunctions, where appropriate, to prevent assets or money from being dissipated. We also have experience in making disclosure applications (such as for Norwich Pharmacal Orders) in order to discover information that may assist in a recovery.
