Fraud solicitors

Allegations of criminal fraud can have serious consequences for individuals, directors and businesses, including criminal prosecution, regulatory action, reputational damage and financial investigation proceedings.

Fraud investigations are often complex, document-heavy and fast moving, with enforcement agencies frequently using extensive powers to obtain evidence, freeze assets and conduct interviews under caution.

We act for individuals, company directors, professionals and businesses facing fraud allegations and investigations. Our team provides strategic, commercially focused advice from the earliest stages of an investigation through to interview, charge, trial and appeal.

The team is led by George Kampanella, who has extensive experience advising clients in serious and complex fraud and financial crime matters. We have a proven track record of representing clients in high-value and reputation-sensitive cases.

Early Specialist Advice Matters

Many fraud investigations begin long before formal charges are brought. Early legal advice can significantly affect the scope and direction of an investigation, as well as helping to manage reputational, regulatory and commercial risks from the outset.

Our focus is not only on defending allegations, but also on protecting our clients’ wider personal and business interests throughout the process.
