Mishcon de Reya LLP, Fraud: Civil

About

Provided by Mishcon de Reya LLP

We have the largest dedicated group of international injunction specialists in the UK. Wherever possible we seek pre-emptive relief to locate and freeze assets and preserve evidence. Our own International Network of Fraud Specialists, The International Fraud Group, gives us a critical edge when securing piggyback injunctions in other countries. Our anti-fraud and counterfeiting product Mishcon Tulip- (Turning Losses into Profits) - remains the only anti-counterfeiting product devised by a law firm to combat the multi-billion dollar industry of international fraud and counterfeiting.

Our ability to control costs and manage the recovery exercise means we are able to convert the pressure we have created into a swift tangible return on investment for our clients. Our reputation as fraud solicitors for negotiating directly with both fraudsters and their lawyers enables us to resolve complex and sensitive cases in ways that protect our clients from endless litigation and mounting costs.

We have unique relationships with investigators; both private and governmental and ensure that our investigators work side by side with us, the barrister and clients as a team from day 1; preparing the evidence and applying for and executing injunctions.

Our understanding of the most aggressive tactics employed on behalf of claimants in fraud cases also enables us to provide the defendants we act for with comprehensive protection.
