Fraud lawyers available nationwide
Fraud is now the most common crime committed in the UK. As a result, fraud has become a high-profile crime, with a lot of focus being placed on prosecuting convicted individuals with potentially severe punishments. If you have been accused of committing fraud, seeking legal advice is vital.
Some of the most common types of fraud include:
- Phone scams
- Card skimming
- Investment scams
- Ticketing scams
We Specialise in Multiple Areas of Fraud including:
Serious High Value Fraud
High value fraud cases related to investment fraud, such as share scams and pyramid schemes are often high profile due to the seriousness of the crime and the substantial amounts of money involved. Our experienced solicitors approach these complex cases strategically to ensure the best possible outcome.
Investment Fraud
Investment fraud can take various forms, but usually promises high returns on a given
investment. If you have been accused of any form of investment fraud, seeking immediate legal advice is crucial to prepare a robust defence. Our knowledgeable and experienced investment fraud solicitors will work diligently to secure the best possible result for you.
Tax Evasion
Tax evasion involves illegally avoiding taxes by misrepresenting finances to HM Revenue and Customs. Both individuals and businesses can be subjected to charges of tax evasion. Whether you have been unfairly accused of tax evasion, overlooked important financial details, or trusted others with your accounts and investments, we can provide the necessary guidance to achieve the best solution.
