FAQs

Do I Need a Solicitor If I Am Under Investigation For Fraud?

Obtaining legal guidance at an early stage is often important in fraud investigations to help assess evidence, manage communication and ensure matters are approached appropriately from the outset.

What Is Money Laundering?

Money laundering allegations generally concern the handling, transfer or benefit of property alleged to represent criminal proceeds. The legal and factual context of each case requires careful assessment.

Can I Be Investigated For Fraud Without Knowing It?

In some circumstances, investigations may begin before formal contact is made. Police, regulators or investigators may gather evidence before interview, arrest or formal allegation, depending on the circumstances.

Can I Be Prosecuted Without Direct Evidence?

Yes. Some fraud matters may rely on financial records, documentation or inferences drawn from conduct, depending on the wider evidential position.

Can Fraud Allegations Affect My Professional or Commercial Position?

Yes. Depending on the circumstances, fraud investigations may affect banking arrangements, regulatory standing, directorships, commercial relationships, professional reputation and wider business operations.

What Is a Confiscation Order?

A confiscation order is a financial order made following conviction requiring payment of an amount alleged to reflect benefit obtained from criminal conduct.
