High Value Fraud covers complex, large-scale fraud cases typically involving sophisticated alleged misconduct, significant financial loss, and cross-border elements. It concerns actions where a claimant alleges deceit, false representation, or inducement affecting substantial sums, often requiring detailed forensic accounting and tracing of assets. A solicitor in this area represents the claimant or the defendant in High Court proceedings, planning and coordinating investigations, disclosure, expert reports, and the enforcement of orders to preserve assets and prove liability.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor handles the substantive pleadings, disclosure of documents, and the appointment of forensic experts. They draft and respond to statements of case, prepare affidavits and witness statements, apply for freezing and search orders, and manage complex cross-border asset tracing. Their role includes coordinating with investigators, financial experts, and regulators, and guiding clients through injunctions and court processes to secure and recover assets efficiently.
