Embezzlement covers the misappropriation or personal use of someone else’s money or property that has been entrusted to the offender, typically by someone in a fiduciary or employment role. A solicitor in this area helps clients gather financial records, review bank statements and ledgers, advise on potential charges under the Theft Act 1968, and coordinate with police and prosecutors. They may prepare case papers, interview witnesses, apply for disclosure, and represent the client in pre-trial hearings and trials where necessary.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles intricate financial records, investigative procedures, and statutory provisions governing theft by entrusted persons, including disclosure, expert reports, and the interaction with the Crown Prosecution Service and the courts to navigate complex evidential requirements and potential defences.
