Civil Fraud & Asset Recovery
For many years the members of Maitland Chambers have been instructed in complex and high-value fraud claims.
Our members have appeared in landmark cases that have shaped the law of civil fraud, such as FHR European Ventures LLP v Cedar Capital Partners LLC, Patel v Mirza, Burnden Holdings (UK) Ltd v Fielding, and Ivey v Genting Casinos (UK) Ltd, as well as high-profile trials that have turned on the examination of witnesses or documents. In addition, the publication of the leading work on civil fraud by a team of members led by Thomas Grant KC and David Mumford KC, Civil Fraud: Law Practice & Procedure, means that our members remain at the forefront of civil fraud litigation.
Our expertise in the pursuit and defence of civil fraud claims, particularly in the commercial context, extends from the early investigatory stages and the obtaining (or resisting) of urgent freezing and search order relief, through to trial and the tracing and recovery of assets in the UK and abroad. Our expertise in civil fraud claims is augmented by our cross-disciplinary expertise in related areas, such as banking and financial services, company, insolvency, partnership, real estate and trusts law, which ensures that clients receive the best all-round advice and representation.
