Financial Crime Investigation

Duncan Lewis Financial Crime Legal Advice

 

 

Financial crime investigations in the workplace are extremely disruptive and unsettling for employers and employees.

 

Financial crimes at work may involve fraud, false accounting, theft, VAT fraud, tax evasion, computer hacking, embezzlement and white collar crimes. Any investigation will be thorough – and it is possible investigating authorities may carry out dawn raids or seize office equipment.

 

Duncan Lewis employment solicitors can advise employees on financial crime investigations at the start of an investigation and before charges are brought.

 

Duncan Lewis has a highly successful criminal law department, with in-house financial crime specialists able to attend interview under caution with investigating authorities such as City of London Police, NCA, SFO, FCA or HMRC – as well as advising on the legality of any warrant executed, co-operating with investigating authorities/regulators and plea bargaining.

 

In cases where individuals are facing investigation for financial crime in the workplace, Duncan Lewis offers expert legal advice at any stage of an investigation.

 

Duncan Lewis employment law solicitors can also offer legal advice on withdrawal of approved person status, disclosure and restrictive covenants.

 

Employees under investigation for financial crime are likely to be suspended and required not to communicate with colleagues – or may face dismissal or have financial and other assets frozen.

 

It is vital to contact Duncan Lewis employment law solicitors as soon as possible if there is any likelihood of being investigated for financial crime in the workplace or an investigation has already been launched.
