Commercial Fraud
Introduction
We have been recognised for over two decades as leaders in the defence of corporate and commercial fraud allegations. Often referred to as white collar crime or business crime, the implications of a prosecution for company officers and businessmen can be far reaching
The business crime team at Burton Copeland is a dedicated niche unit staffed by fraud solicitors with vast experience and expertise in fraud cases which can involve global transactions traversing many international boundaries and jurisdictions.
Historically, the team of fraud solicitors have been involved in many of the high profile cases, several instigated by the Serious Fraud Office:
- Barlow Clowes – a £180 million fraud on investors
- Stevens – multi-handed mortgage fraud
- Paul O’Neal – time share fraud
- Awan – diversion of excise, London City Bond, a leading abuse of process case
- Maxwell – pension fraud
- Smith – Butte mining fraud, at the time the longest running trial ever in the UK
- Miller – the largest ever trading standards prosecution in the UK
