Workplace Fraud
Whether you classify fraud as white collar crime, deception, insider trading, cartel behaviour or simply theft, it can occur across a range of business operations and is often perpetrated by persons well known to the business.
Fraud or employee theft occurs far more often than most people are comfortable talking about. It can happen in very small businesses as well as in multinational companies. As an owner or investor in a business the consequences can be devastating.
How you handle the evidence is extremely important in situations of white collar crime. In particular, data preservation of electronic devices can be critical to be able to prove your case. You need to engage the assistance of experts as soon as you suspect it has occurred.
We have experience acting for clients in a wide range of matters, including where the value of the loss to the business was several million dollars. We have also acted in tandem with criminal prosecution and have recovered substantial amounts for businesses that have been the victim of the fraudulent activities of an insider.
