Where fraud is alleged, immediate access to high quality legal advice is essential.
If you have been a victim of fraud then you will want the assistance of experienced
lawyers to guide you through the investigation and any ensuing litigation.
LitigateOnDemand has a track record of handling and defending the interest of fraud
victims.
We work closely with our clients and other professionals, including foreign lawyers,
forensic accountants, private investigators and IT specialists, and liaise with
criminal and regulatory authorities, if necessary, in order to ensure that the most
effective strategy is adopted.
At LitigateOnDemand we have extensive experience in investigating,
initiating and defending all types of fraud claims. We understand the commercial
and strategic issues relating to fraud claims and provide robust advice on how
to handle them. Interim measures are frequently required, including search and
seizure orders and freezing injunctions, to prevent dissipation of assets prior
to the issue of proceedings.
Our significant experience in asset tracing across multiple jurisdictions
includes the use of Norwich Pharmacal Orders for the disclosure of documents and
information, and to discover the identity of individuals. In securing and
enforcing foreign judgments, we regularly work with claimants who want to freeze
and recover the assets of defendants.

What if my bank rejects
my claim?
Your bank might reject your claim for a refund if it believes it can prove that
you have
been grossly negligent or acted fraudulently.
This does not have to be the end of the matter.
If you’re not happy with the way your complaint has been dealt with by your Bank
or the
Financial Ombudsman Service, you can bring your complaint to our financial
expert to help
you recover your funds.
