We can connect you with a dispute resolution solicitor who is a specialist in civil fraud investigation today to help you ensure the best possible chance of recovering stolen or misappropriated funds or property.<\/p>\n<p>Our members have experience of working here in the UK as well as in cross-border cases that involve multiple jurisdictions.<\/p>\n<p>The range of expertise offered by Simply.Law&#8217;s member specialists includes the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fraud prevention plans<\/li>\n<li>Freezing injunctions<\/li>\n<li>Search orders<\/li>\n<li>Disclosure orders<\/li>\n<li>Private prosecutions<\/li>\n<li>International enforcement<\/li>\n<li>Money laundering claims<\/li>\n<li>Accessory liability claims<\/li>\n<li>Claims of dishonesty, deceit and corruption<\/li>\n<li>Insolvency and recoveries<\/li>\n<li>Disciplinary investigations<\/li>\n<li>HMRC investigations<\/li>\n<li>Internal company investigations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Fraud in the UK<\/h2>\n<p>Although it is difficult to gain a definitive figure on the cost of fraud to the UK economy, the National Fraud Authority estimates that deceitful activity costs around \u00a373 billion a year.<\/p>\n<p>It is likely that this figure is rising; over recent years fraudsters have become increasingly sophisticated in their criminal techniques and even though authorities continually rise and respond to the challenge, it is a battle of minimisation rather elimination.<\/p>\n<p>However, for those who have become the victims of fraud, there is hope. Instructing dispute resolution solicitors to make a civil fraud investigation can help achieve the successful recovery of assets and funds.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to recognise that time is of the essence in such cases; statistics show that the sooner a person or organisation begins a civil fraud investigation the higher the likelihood of a successful outcome.<\/p>\n<h2>Allegations of fraud<\/h2>\n<p>If you are facing a civil allegation of fraud, it is essential that you seek the advice of a suitably experienced dispute resolution solicitor to help protect your reputation and livelihood. Poor, inadequate or tardy legal advice can greatly disadvantage you in such a situation so it is important that you act as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h2>Let Simply.Law work for you<\/h2>\n<p>If you have been the victim of fraud you have the right to pursue civil proceedings against the party that has wronged you.<\/p>\n<p>The courts provide many options for those looking to recover stolen and fraudulently obtained money and assets.<\/p>\n<p>Simply.Law gives you the power to make informed and intelligent choices regarding your legal representation, all without charge or obligation.<\/p>\n<p>Begin the process today by choosing one of the contact options listed on this page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simply.Law empowers you to make informed and intelligent choices regarding your legal representation in actions related to civil fraud and investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7969,"parent":5301,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[12328,12333],"tags":[10269,10272,10080,10270,10275,10274,8773,10273,10276,10271,8473],"guides-category":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4581","1":"guides","2":"type-guides","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-business-disputes-litigation","8":"category-disputes-private-clients","9":"tag-civil-fraud-and-investigation","10":"tag-disclosure-orders","11":"tag-dispute-resolution-solicitors","12":"tag-freezing-injunctions","13":"tag-hmrc","14":"tag-insolvency-and-recoveries","15":"tag-legal-advice","16":"tag-money-laundering-claims","17":"tag-private-prosecutions","18":"tag-search-orders","19":"tag-uk"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v27.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Civil fraud and investigation - Simply.Law dispute resolution solicitors - Simply Law England Wales<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Explore our comprehensive collection of legal guides covering various topics to help you navigate the complexities of the law.
