Civil Fraud

Our Commercial Litigation team are regularly instructed in fraud claims, both internationally and domestically, in court and in arbitration, in the financial services sector and in broader commercial contexts.

When fraud is suspected, the first steps are crucial. We are able to rapidly mobilise urgent applications for urgent freezing injunctions and search orders. Our barristers have been involved in some of the most important high value civil fraud cases in recent years.

We are regularly instructed to advise banks and customers in relation to fraudulent payments from bank accounts as well as cases involving hacking, phishing, vishing and spoofing scams.

We regularly act for and against the Financial Conduct Authority in disputes relating to ponzi schemes, share sale scams, land banking, unauthorised collective investment schemes and Financial Services and Markets Act perimeter policing.
