The legal issues which arise out of civil fraud concern the law of restitution, constructive trusts, tracing, deceit, conspiracy and related economic torts. Chambers provides comprehensive expertise not only in these difficult areas of the law, but also in relation to the jurisdictional issues which arise where major frauds have involved transmission of assets through a number of different jurisdictions (including sound knowledge of the Brussels and Lugano conventions). Certain members specialise in offshore and overseas jurisdictions, and have appeared in the courts of [the Cayman Islands, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Hong Kong, Trinidad & Tobago, and the Channel Islands.

Effective asset tracing and recovery requires expert knowledge of interim remedies, including search and seizure and freezing orders. The importance of such remedies to the commercial client is appreciated, and members of Chambers regularly make urgent applications to the Court.

Members of Chambers also provide advice and advocacy in relation to statutory offences relating to insolvency fraud.
