Fraud

Corker Binning is a law firm specialising in fraud, regulatory litigation and general criminal work of all types. The firm advises on the whole spectrum of criminal cases involving alleged dishonesty, from the largest international frauds spanning several jurisdictions to frauds on UK companies and consumers, mortgage, benefit, credit card and boiler room fraud as well as false accounting, forgery and all other forms of alleged fraudulent conduct.

As well as defending and advising suspects and defendants, Corker Binning often advises companies and individuals required to give evidence as witnesses in fraud investigations. Sometimes it may be possible to stop a criminal investigation being started or to settle cases without there being a criminal investigation. In others, the only way to defeat a case is to fight a trial. There are also cases where plea negotiations are the best means of achieving a favourable outcome for a client. Our experience spans the whole range of litigation options and we aim to achieve the best outcome possible for our clients in what are often long and stressful cases.

Current cases include several major Serious Fraud Office and Crown Prosecution Service prosecutions such as the carbon trading case, the alleged fraud at Torex, an AIM listed company and a major commercial lending fraud on AIB and Bank of Scotland. Other recent cases include acting in the Parliamentary expenses scandal for two prominent individuals, acting for several solicitors accused of fraud and advising numerous other clients in fraud related investigations.
