Fraud investigations

Cases of fraud, counterfeit goods and false documents can range from low scale fraud such as using a stolen cheque to large and organised, professional counterfeiting operations such as MTIC Carousel Fraud and large counterfeiting operations. These cases are often complex, usually are charged as conspiracies and require a skilful and knowledgeable legal team. At hkh Kenwright & Cox Solicitors we have the capability and decades of experience to deal with these complex cases.

We have in-house staff with accounts expertise and have special working relationships with forensic accountants who have given evidence on our clients’ behalf. These experts can provide reports which show an individual’s or business’s financial activity and liability.

We know that for businesses, the investigation of an offence can be more damaging than any sentence imposed. The authorities impose freezing injunctions on accounts and stop a legitimate business from trading. There has been no trial at this point and a business is effectively shut down. In certain circumstances, freezing orders can be unfrozen and we can help get businesses back to work.
