About

In the last three years, we have recovered over £200 million of hidden and misappropriated assets for clients ranging from foreign governments, HMRC, claimants in major frauds, banks, insurers as well as other listed and non-listed corporates. We use insolvency proceedings, court appointed receiverships and other civil procedures. We have extensive experience of retrieving assets from jurisdictions in the Caribbean, Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia, as well as the offshore centres. We operate under a number of fee structures, often working on a contingent basis or with the benefit of third party funding. This means we are able to bear the risk of the investigation, and only charge a fee in cases where a recovery is made. In many cases our work represents an opportunity for clients to turn write offs into revenues. In addition, we are experienced at working alongside the UK prosecuting authorities to manage businesses, safeguard restrained assets and recover the proceeds of crime using the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 criminal and civil legislation.

Review of economic crime investigators

13 Mar 2017

This presents an opportunity for the investigators to see how unified working can make for better outcomes. The fragmentation between organisations is not helpful to anyone so I hope this review will set out a rationalised way forward. Not a series of minor departmental reorganisations but a fundamental change and break through barriers.

The SFO is one of several agencies under the spotlight, along with the National Crime Agency, HM Revenue & Customs, the Financial Conduct Authority and the Competition and Markets Authority. Also being scrutinised are several police forces that specialise in economic crime such as City of London, said officials familiar with the review.
