The use of specialist government agencies, the introduction of new regulatory powers and a developing sophistication and use of technology has resulted in an increase in the detection and prosecution of business crime. Coinciding with this, Tuckers has enjoyed a growing reputation for successfully defending those accused of so-called "white collar" fraud.
Our recent cases include allegations of insider trading, pension fraud, defrauding creditors, mortgage fraud, advance fee fraud, Missing Trader Intra-Community (‘MTIC')/carousel fraud, and boiler room fraud, and our investment in information technology allows us to use the most advanced and sophisticated case management techniques to highlight the weaknesses and inconsistencies in the prosecution’s case.
We will put together a specialist team tailored to your individual needs, pulling resources from leading accountancy firms and barristers’ practices. Because we know how complex and large scale investigations work, we are able to quickly process the information and identify the key issues for you in a clear and relevant way so that you can mount a proactive and robust defence.
Our approach has resulted in successfully defending cases investigated by the Serious Fraud Office ("SFO"), the Financial Services Authority ("FSA"), the Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform ("BERR"), the Serious Organised Crime Agency ("SOCA"), HM Revenue & Customs ("HMRC"), and the Special Casework team at the Crown Prosecution Service.
