Facing White Collar Crime Allegations?
At Shield Law, we provide expert legal defence for individuals and organisations facing white collar crime allegations across England and Wales.
White collar crime encompasses a wide range of non-violent offences typically committed in commercial or professional environments.
These offences often involve fraud, deception, breach of trust, or misuse of power, and can have serious personal and professional consequences.

What Are White Collar Crimes?
White collar crimes generally refer to financially motivated, non-violent offences committed by business professionals, public officials, and corporate entities. These offences can include:
Fraud (including investment, tax, mortgage, insurance and benefit fraud)
Money laundering
Bribery & Corruption
Insider trading and market abuse
Embezzlement and theft from employers
Cybercrime and Data Breaches
False accounting and misrepresentation
Corporate regulatory offences and breaches of the Companies Act 2006
Such allegations can arise from internal audits, whistleblower complaints, regulatory investigations, or criminal proceedings initiated by authorities such as the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), HMRC, or National Crime Agency (NCA).
Consequences of a White Collar Allegation
Being investigated or charged with a white collar offence can be devastating. It can damage your reputation, disrupt your career, lead to professional sanctions or disqualification, and potentially result in criminal prosecution, heavy fines, or imprisonment.
In addition, law enforcement may seek confiscation of assets under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA), which could severely impact your finances and livelihood.
