Civil fraud and asset recovery

Our team has streamlined processes tailored to our insurer clients, enabling us (and you) to deliver a swift and effective response to financial frauds against insureds.

• Acting for a Top 25 law firm and its insurers in the preservation and recovery of £1.4million stolen in a “Friday Fraud". We obtained a Freezing Injunction against “Persons Unknown” and pursued civil and criminal action in Turkey.
• Acting for a public institution and its insurers in the investigation of a £1million employee fraud. We traced and recovered assets in the UK and US, created leading-edge law on obtaining Norwich Pharmacal disclosure orders against the police, and service by social media outside of the UK jurisdiction.
• Acting for a music industry insured and its fidelity insurers in the recovery of sums stolen over a number of years. We traced and analysed via Norwich Pharmacal the disclosure of sums gambled away, with the potential to pursue recovery actions against a number of third parties. 
• Routinely acting for law firms and their insurers in urgently responding to “Friday Frauds” and “Dreamvar Frauds” (frauds generally ranging from £100,000 to £3million+). We seek the preservation and recovery of sums stolen, identify conspirators to fraud and investigate and recover assets via civil and/or criminal actions.
