Fraud
If you require support on a Fraud matter, call us and we will listen to you with no obligations and offer you help with clear next steps guidance.
Being accused of a financial crime can have a devastating impact on you, affecting your business, family, and overall well-being. It’s often referred to as ‘White Collar Crime,’ which doesn’t make it any easier for those facing the allegations.
At Adkirk Law, we have extensive experience in handling serious and complex cases. This unique dual role in prosecution and defence allows our experts to provide a well-rounded perspective and prepare a strong, proactive case for our clients.
Fraud investigations
Investigations can be lengthy, often lasting years before charges are decided. Many suspects waste valuable time waiting for decisions instead of challenging the investigation and its actions. We can assist you in making crucial decisions regarding legal challenges, such as search warrants, arrests, property seizures, restraint or freezing orders on bank accounts, and production orders for accessing bank records. These proactive judicial challenges can effectively halt unlawful investigations. We believe in proactively challenging the evidence by drafting pre-charge representations.
Our expertise is nationally recognised, and we have been involved in high-profile cases. We maintain nationwide connections to partner with top professionals, including Barristers, KC’s, forensic accountants, computer analysts, handwriting experts, and voice recognition experts.
We understand the potential damage to the reputations of individuals and businesses due to these allegations. Our focus is on ensuring appropriate crisis management as an integral part of our preparation.
