Fraud and Regulatory Lawyers
Fraud and regulatory investigations
There are few worse experiences for individuals and businesses than being investigated or prosecuted for fraud, financial crime, regulatory offences or rule breaches. Growing numbers of national and international prosecution authorities and regulatory bodies make sure that business people and businesses work to strict codes and regulations.
Regulatory bodies have powers to fine, censure, discipline and sanction individuals and companies for regulatory breaches and some bodies will prosecute individuals and companies for criminal offences. Such bodies include the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the Financial Services Authority (FSA), the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (BERR), the Office for Fair Trading (OFT), the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the Information Commissioner (data protection) and local Trading Standards Departments. And, increasingly prosecutors and regulatory bodies based overseas, for example the US Department of Justice and the US Securities and Exchange Commission, are conducting multi-jurisdictional investigations and litigation.
Our lawyers work with individuals and companies to who wish to review or improve their compliance procedures to minimise the risk of intervention or enquiry by regulators and criminal investigators. We advise and assist individuals or companies who are concerned that they may be the subject of an investigation or a compulsory request to provide information. And, finally we advise and defend individuals and companies if an investigation, prosecution or other litigation has been commenced.
