What Is Serious Fraud?

Serious fraud typically involves complex, high-value financial crimes that may be prosecuted by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), National Crime Agency (NCA) or other regulatory authorities. These offences often include:

Investment Fraud

Tax Evasion

Mortgage Fraud

Corporate or Business Fraud

Bribery and Corruption

Ponzi or Pyramid Schemes

Money Laundering

False Accounting

The legal threshold for conviction is high, but early legal advice is crucial. Shield Law can provide you with immediate guidance from the moment you are investigated or arrested.

Stages of a Serious Fraud Case

A serious fraud case may involve:

Initial investigation

This could include search warrants, arrests, or interviews under caution.

Interviews under caution

These are often conducted under PACE (Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984) rules and can have lasting implications.

Asset freezing and restraint orders

You may be subject to Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) investigations, potentially freezing bank accounts or seizing assets.

Court proceedings

If charges are brought, cases are typically heard in the Crown Court due to their complexity and severity.

Our fraud defence lawyers are highly experienced in managing each of these stages with care, confidentiality, and precision
