Even the most well-managed businesses and their directors can become subject to investigations involving financial misconduct or corporate crime—whether arising from allegations of fraud, tax irregularities, corruption, regulatory scrutiny, or international trade issues. These situations demand the guidance of experienced legal advisers who can carry out robust investigations and defend civil, criminal, or regulatory proceedings with full awareness of the commercial and reputational sensitivities involved. We recognise the critical importance of discretion in reaching a successful resolution.
If you or your organisation has been the victim of fraud or financial crime, you also need lawyers skilled in investigation and litigation, working closely with forensic professionals to pursue recovery of lost assets.
Our UK and international team of fraud and financial crime lawyers has extensive experience supporting companies and individuals—particularly directors—facing allegations or entangled in complex fraud, regulatory investigations, or financial crime cases across jurisdictions, including cross-border and offshore matters.
We are highly proficient in managing investigations, engaging with regulators and enforcement agencies, and defending proceedings. We work seamlessly with investigators and forensic accountants, particularly in asset tracing and recovery. Our capabilities include initiating litigation and securing urgent interim relief such as worldwide freezing orders, search and disclosure orders, and other remedies from both the English and British Virgin Islands courts, supporting proceedings domestically and internationally.
