Work covers dishonest conduct that affects Scottish businesses and commercial property — including bookkeeping and payroll fraud, procurement and investment scams, mortgage and title fraud, payment and identity fraud, and organised financial schemes. Solicitors in Scotland carry out internal inquiries, instruct forensic accountants, gather and preserve proof, report and liaise with the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service, seek interdicts and preservation measures, raise civil actions for recovery in the sheriff courts or Court of Session, deal with Registers of Scotland on title issues, and represent clients where criminal proceedings are prosecuted in the sheriff court or High Court of Justiciary. Matters are shaped by procurator fiscal charging decisions, Scots evidence rules and cross-border asset tracing challenges.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Solicitors prepare actions for recovery and applications for interdict and preservation, co‑ordinate forensic accounting and dealings with Registers of Scotland, and liaise with the procurator fiscal during criminal enquiries. Work commonly requires handling multi-jurisdictional tracing, Scots procedural steps in the sheriff courts or Court of Session, and concurrent civil and criminal processes.
