Specialist Legal Defence in Financial & Economic Crime

Our team provides tailored defence across all areas of financial crime — from investigation to trial. Each service is handled by experienced solicitors who understand both the legal and financial complexities of these cases.

We defend company directors, financial professionals, and investors accused of corporate fraud, false accounting, and fraudulent trading. Our solicitors analyse financial evidence, audit trails, and corporate documentation to build a fact-based, credible defence that withstands regulatory and prosecutorial scrutiny.

Our firm represents clients accused of digital fraud, phishing schemes, and benefit-related offences. We challenge data integrity, disclosure practices, and procedural errors to protect our clients from wrongful conviction and financial penalties.

We act for individuals and organisations under investigation for handling or transferring criminal property, including cases involving cryptocurrency, international transfers, and business accounts. Our legal strategy focuses on dismantling prosecutorial assumptions and tracing legitimate financial sources.

Our solicitors advise on Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) proceedings, including asset restraint, freezing orders, and confiscation hearings. We intervene early to protect assets, negotiate settlements, and challenge overreaching enforcement measures.

We represent clients investigated by HMRC for VAT fraud, tax evasion, and false declarations. Our team combines legal skill with financial literacy to manage disclosure, negotiations, and court defence effectively.

Regulatory Experience

We have acted in investigations led by the SFO, HMRC, FCA, and NCA, defending professionals and corporations.

Technical Capability

Our defence strategies leverage forensic accounting, digital tracing, and financial data analysis to dismantle complex prosecution cases.

Discreet Representation

We handle all matters with strict confidentiality, protecting both your liberty and professional reputation.
