At Mountford Chambers, our barristers draw on their extensive experience in both civil and criminal law, enabling them to offer effective representation in cases of civil fraud and asset recovery, including cases of account freezing, civil recovery and forfeiture. We have a strong track record in handling complex cases that intersect criminal and civil fraud, when there are concurrent criminal and civil proceedings.

Civil Fraud Barristers

Our barristers regularly act in substantial High Court litigation involving issues of fraud, and are frequently instructed by some of the country’s leading litigation firms. Our work includes fraud cases arising from complex domestic and cross-jurisdictional disputes and litigation to recover losses in investment fraud. Our barristers are involved in every key aspect of commercial litigation. This includes applications for injunctive relief, applications for disclosure, security for costs and the enforcement of foreign judgments.

We have acted in a number of recent cases of civil recovery and bank account forfeiture arising from fraud investigations. We have well-established links with litigation firms in the Cayman Islands, the BVI and Bermuda and we are regularly asked to advise in relation to cases of cross-jurisdictional fraud which arise in these regions.
