Fraud and Asset Recovery

It is rare to find true specialists in the civil fraud arena outside of the City of London. However, Bevan Brittan's dispute resolution team includes an asset recovery and fraud group of four partners and one associate who have vast experience of prominent, high value fraud work. The team, lead by Ben Daniels, boasts an enviable client list of financial institutions, insurance companies, foreign governments, plcs and domestic public bodies.

Two members of the team are solicitor advocates and we often conduct our own advocacy. This provides our clients with a real competitive edge when their instructions require complex urgent injunctive work. As an example, when a client uncovered a sophisticated customer fraud in which �1.8 million was at risk, we put together a team that was able to drop everything and achieve an immediate result. Within an hour of receiving documentary evidence of the fraud, we were attending the Court and securing a Freezing Order in order to protect the assets at risk.

We set out below brief details of a flavour of the cases handled by the partners and associates within the team. In addition, the individuals below are supported by a further three associates and nine assistant solicitors who have experience of trust, asset recovery and fraud work. We are unaware of any team outside the City of London that can match our experience and expertise

� Acting for a Middle Eastern government in connection with a multi-million pound asset recovery exercise.

� Advising a Swiss company in multi-party fraud litigation.

� Representing several Health Authorities in investigating a complex supply fraud

� Acting for by two Isle of Man based pension and life companies in connection with an ongoing multi-million pound asset recovery exercise involving assets in England, Jersey, Gibraltar and Spain.

� Advising a UK insurance company in relation to multiple claims arising out of the fraudulent activity of an IFA.

� Obtaining freezing orders, summary judgment and significant asset recovery in several cases of customer, supplier and employee fraud valued in excess of �1 million.
