Corporate fraud investigations

Legislation in this area is evolving all the time, and so it can be difficult to keep up with the changes with a lot of detailed financial information involved. Investigations in these areas tend to be sudden, with dawn raids, property seizures, arrests and interviews under caution happening with little or no notice.

Authorities can freeze assets relating to the business or certain individuals using restraint or asset freezing orders. These actions will all have a massive impact on the business and the lives of the individuals involved. Therefore, it is vital to make sure you are getting the right legal advice to ensure that the correct route is being followed and that your business is protected as much as possible.
