Fraud investigations

Fraud Investigation Services

We investigate suspected fraud, dishonest conduct and unexplained financial loss. Our former law-enforcement investigators, forensic practitioners and analysts establish what happened, identify the people and assets involved, and produce evidence that supports practical action.

Clear answers from complex evidence

Find the facts, preserve the evidence, plan the response.

Fraud rarely sits in one document or one jurisdiction. Relevant evidence may be spread across accounts, companies, communications, devices, public records and cryptocurrency transactions. We bring those strands together into one coherent investigation.

Our work is scoped around the decision you need to make: whether to pursue civil recovery, support criminal or private-prosecution proceedings, respond to an internal incident, protect a business, or establish the true scale of loss.

We work with law firms, businesses, institutions and private clients in the UK and internationally, applying proportionate methods and documenting sources, reasoning, limitations and evidential continuity.

FAQs

Common questions

When should a fraud investigation begin?
As soon as credible concerns arise. Early action can reduce further loss, preserve evidence and prevent subjects from dissipating assets or coordinating accounts. The initial scope can be narrow and proportionate.
Can you work alongside solicitors and counsel?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with legal teams so investigative work supports the relevant civil, criminal, employment, regulatory or private-prosecution strategy.
Will the investigation identify recoverable assets?
Where recovery is an objective, asset tracing can be integrated from the outset. We distinguish evidence of ownership or control from leads requiring further legal or jurisdictional action.
