We are a leading Chambers in fraud as ranked by Chambers and Partners. Chambers’ strength in civil fraud is augmented by a breadth of experience in regulatory and financial services law and outstanding quality in advocacy.
Members of Chambers are instructed in the full range of fraud cases, from domestic employee or cheque frauds to multi-jurisdictional actions arising from major individual and corporate frauds involving misappropriation of funds, bribery, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of trust, negligence, deceit, asset tracing, asset recovery, counterfeiting, intellectual property and civil contempt.
Members are well equipped to capitalise on pre-trial powers of the High Court to secure evidence, trace, preserve and recover assets. This includes drafting and obtaining tailored search, freezing and disclosure orders, travel restraint orders, cross-examination orders and civil arrest warrants.
Members specialise in and are experienced in dealing with multi-jurisdictional litigation and have extensive experience of appearing in the courts of many foreign jurisdictions including Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands among others.
Our notable recent work includes the largest civil recovery case of all time, Asset Recovery Agency v Green and Others [2005] EWHC QBD 3168 (Admin) , a multi-jurisdictional fraud and a leading case concerning civil recovery.
