Fraud, Bribery and Money Crime
LA's team draws on its wide ranging experience when advising and representing clients the subject of investigations and prosecutions. We act for private and commercial clients alike. The team is able to provide advice and assistance from the inception of an investigation, and throughout any prosecution or other court process.
Our experience includes liaising with the investigating officers (within the police, Serious Fraud Office, and the like) on behalf of clients, representing suspects in interviews conducted under caution, and gathering evidence. If court proceedings are commenced, we advise and represent clients across the full spectrum of issues, whether in terms of any prosecution itself or any matters ancillary to it. They include:
- Bribery and corruption
- Fraud
- Money laundering
- Proceeds of crime issues, such as restraint, confiscation and civil recovery
- Financial reporting or serious crime prevention orders, or debarment
Since the introduction of the Bribery Act 2010, we have also been called upon to advise businesses putting into place anti-bribery policies, a preventative measure which may provide a defence to the business if someone associated with it falls foul of the new legislation.
