Blake Lapthorn has a national reputation for its specialist
fraud litigation work. There are a number of ways that a
financier can suffer losses resulting from a fraud. For
example:
- 'fresh air' financing
- multiple financing
- impersonation/identity fraud
- 'long firm' frauds
- misappropriation of funds/assets by customers.
There are also a number of ways that a financier can look to
recover those losses and we are experienced in assisting them
with identifying and implementing the appropriate
strategy. This may include:
- issue of injunctive proceedings to recover/preserve assets
- issue of proceedings against parties involved such as
suppliers, brokers and directors of customers
- working closely with enquiry agents to locate assets/funds and
gather relevant evidence
- unravelling complex corporate
and offshore structures to trace misappropriated
funds
- working with insolvency practitioners that specialise in
fraud related situations.
In the larger cases a multiple strategy may be needed to
pursue all possible lines of recovery.
