Our Services > Criminal Fraud
Our Criminal Fraud team is regarded as one of the market leaders in this field and works in all areas of fraud. We have acted and continue to act in many of the country’s highest profile cases. We have advised or currently act for defendants and suspects in the following investigations and trials: BAE investigation, Balfour Beatty, IKEA, United Nations Oil for Food, iSoft, Cash for Honours and Operation Archway. The team is also instructed on several insider dealing prosecutions brought by the FSA and acted in the FSA’s first ever prosecution of this offence. The group has also been instructed by Governments to defend international criminal allegations.
Our ethos is that significant partner involvement is essential and our objective is always to stop cases before they reach charge or appear before a Jury.
Our particular expertise is in the following prosecutions:

Fraud allegations often involve international elements and we are experienced in dealing with overseas issues and obtaining information from jurisdictions throughout the world. Increasingly many of our cases involve multi-jurisdictional prosecutions and we have extensive experience of dealing with, amongst others; The United Nations, The US Department of Justice, APRA and ASIC in Australia and other foreign prosecutors and regulators.
