The firm specialises in defending 'white collar' criminal cases such as allegations of money laundering, VAT fraud, conspiracy to cheat the public revenue, fraudulent trading, conspiracy to defraud, duty evasion etc.
This expertise has led to the firm being awarded membership of the Legal Services Commissions Specialist Fraud Panel. Membership of this panel is strictly limited to a small number of practices in England & Wales that have demonstrated at least eight years experience of handling work of this complex nature.
We are one of the few panel member firms in the Midlands which reflects the extent of our expertise.
Hamraj Kang is the appointed Specialist Fraud Panel Supervisor and is supported by a team of Solicitors and Barristers who specialise exclusively on work of this nature.
The firm has defended prosecutions brought by all the main prosecuting authorities such as HM Revenue & Customs, Department of Trade and Industry, Trading Standards, The Crown Prosecution Service, The Serious Fraud Office, The National Crime Squad and the Regional Fraud Squads.
In addition to 'white collar' fraud the firm is also regularly instructed in the defence of serious non-fraud criminal cases such as allegations of murder, international and national drugs conspiracies, human trafficking conspiracies, counterfeiting and corruption cases.
