Holborn Adams has years of experience representing clients accused of fraud, and with an impressive track record of case wins. We are proponents of “pre-charge engagement” so we endeavour to drop cases without charge as a first port of call. Where this isn’t possible, we build robust defence cases to drop charges or significantly reduce penalties.
The term “fraud” covers a wide range of offences, from making false statements in order to solicit sales, to hiding expenses in order to avoid paying tax. Whichever type of fraud allegation you’re facing, the Holborn Adams team has the extensive experience to create an airtight defence and win you the best possible result. Fraud investigations are notoriously lengthy and complex.
Some people choose to wait to see if any charges come to fruition.
We strongly advise against this - we set out to have cases dropped before charges are even formally made, saving you time, money, and a great deal of stress.
We also offer reputational management services and have defended many high-profile figures.Defending clients accused of fraud often involves the assistance of specialists.
We work closely with WLH Tax, a tax investigation service, whose financial sector knowledge complements our legal expertise. Any specialists we instruct will be bound by a legal confidentiality agreement.
