Investment fraud covers schemes that mislead investors or misrepresent the value of investments, including Ponzi and pyramid schemes, mis-selling and false claims about returns. A solicitor practises in this area by advising on civil action to recover assets, applying for freezing and disclosure orders, assisting with investigations by the Financial Conduct Authority, and representing clients in proceedings to pursue compensation or to challenge fraudulent promotions. They may also coordinate with investigators, gather evidence, and negotiate settlements with defendants or their lawyers.
