Civil Fraud
Hardwicke Barristers have considerable expertise in dealing with civil fraud. Our broad commercial and regulatory expertise makes Hardwicke well suited to this type of work.
Our team deals with all types of fraud work from cheque fraud and employee fraud to misappropriation of company or client funds and major domestic and international fraud, including: bribery, conspiracy, breach of trust and misappropriation, dishonest assistance and knowing receipt. We also work closely with our intellectual property practitioners to cover the misuse of confidential information, trade secrets and other intellectual property.
Asset recovery is a core part of our practice and our barristers have experience of domestic and international tracing and we are happy to work with forensic accountants and legal teams overseas in multi-jurisdictional disputes and have experience advising on conflict of laws issues.
We understand that speed is of the essence in fraud cases and Hardwicke has experience of freezing orders, search orders and other emergency relief. Hardwicke’s team also acknowledges the pressure that can be brought to bear by these orders and our members are equally versed in resisting attempts to obtain such relief.
Our size allows us to deal with cases quickly and where urgent action is required, we can put together teams of barristers to work through large volumes of complex materials quickly and effectively.
