Fraud and Money Laundering

At Goldman Bailey we have wide-ranging experience in frauds of all natures and sizes and are able to represent you from the initial interview through to the outcome of your case. We are members of the Very High Cost Cases Panel, meaning we are recognised as having the expertise to conduct the defence of major and complex criminal trials.

We handle frauds emanating from all of the prosecuting authorities including the Serious Fraud Office, HM Revenue & Customs and the Crown Prosecution Service. We have expertise in banking and credit card fraud, internet 'phishing' cases, counterfeiting and forgery. We also regularly deal with allegations of money laundering and confiscation proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

Many cases involve the analysis of large quantities of documentary evidence and interrogation of computer records, for which forensic accountants and computer experts are usually instructed. We also pride ourselves on our strong links with specialist counsel and will tailor the most appropriate team to prepare your defence.

Examples of fraud and money laundering cases with which we are able to assist include:

• Carousel fraud
• Cash seizures/asset freezing under the Proceeds of Crime Act
• Commercial theft
• False accounting
• Financial Services Authority (FSA) compliance
• HM Revenue & Customs and VAT investigations
• Money laundering investigations
• Office of Fair Trading (OFT) cases
• Serious Fraud Office (SFO) investigations
• Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) matters
