Civil fraud

Kennedys is well-placed to assist clients seeking prompt and commercial advice on the options open to them when they find themselves the victims of fraud.

We can take action urgently to mitigate clients’ losses and to assist in asset recovery, including obtaining freezing injunctions where appropriate. We have considerable experience in handling large, document-intensive and high profile disputes, and are experienced in dealing with the police and other authorities.

Our recent experience

• Advising on the relative merits of alternative routes of recovery, for example police investigations as opposed to civil proceedings
• Advising on and obtaining freezing injunctions
• World-wide tracing of assets
• Claims for fraudulent misrepresentation and conspiracy
• Claims against financial institutions for fraud and misappropriation of funds

The team is part of Kennedys' Workplace Group bringing together lawyers expert in workplace issues and disputes including employment, health and safety, white collar crime, civil fraud, FSA and environment.
