Our Fraud Law Expertise
Our criminal law barristers have expertise in representing clients who have been accused of committing fraud or of failing to prevent fraud. Fraud allegations can arise in any walk of life. The alleged fraud could be based on conduct that has occurred (by act or omission), a misunderstanding, or an error in conduct rather than active fraud.
Our Silks (King’s Counsel), Senior and Junior barristers, are highly experienced in defending clients who are facing allegations of committing fraud.
Our barristers can advise on electronic and telecommunications evidence, forensic and DNA evidence, motor vehicle forensic evidence (inc. ANPR), the movement of money or assets, whether other people’ activity undermines the Crown’s case, challenging evidence about an alleged location where the fraud is said to have been occasioned, identity challenges, alibi defences, joint enterprise (accessories to fraud), challenging financial and other expert witnesses, advising on police and defence evidence.

You can schedule an introduction or formal consultation with a fraud law specialist barrister by contacting our clerks.
What will the barrister need to be able advise me in a fraud law case?
For a criminal law barrister specialising in fraud to advise, they will need to see the Crown’s evidence and the defendant’s evidence.
The Crown Prosecution Service (representing the Crown) brings cases to trial, instructing KCs, senior and junior barristers, supported by other lawyers. A defendant should therefore arrange for good representation to counter the Crown’s case.
