Get advice before responding to a financial allegation
An investigation can affect a business and the people who work there in different ways. A criminal lawyer can help you understand whose interests need separate protection.
Start with the request, summons or decision you received. We can review the allegation alongside contracts, approvals, bank records and the responsibilities of each person involved. Preserve original records and agree how to share documents securely before sending a full file.
Questions to discuss with your lawyer
Separate company, director, employee and shareholder interests
Map transactions and documents before drawing legal conclusions
Distinguish commercial, tax and regulatory issues from alleged crime
Coordinate defence with accounting and operational advisers
