Fidelity and Crime

The increasing incidence of financial crime and corporate fraud is having a serious impact on the business community and the insurance market. This frequently translates into substantial insurance claims.

Identifying and analysing the loss and its cause can be a meticulous and complicated exercise, requiring attention to the finest details. Swift intervention, for example by way of freezing injunction, may also be essential to prevent the dissipation of assets.

Robin Simon LLP acts on behalf of insurers and their policyholders in relation to all aspects of claims arising from fraud and dishonesty or theft by employees.

These may include:

• deception
• misappropriation of funds
• the manipulation of fraudulent devices and instruments

They may also involve multi-party claims and investigations in the UK and abroad.

We are able to co-ordinate our investigations practically and sensibly. We will work together with loss adjusters, forensic accountants and fraud specialists where appropriate.

We know how to deal with the Serious Fraud Office, the FSA and National Criminal Intelligence Service.

We can also pursue recovery actions on behalf of insurers. We have experience of tracing and enforcement against all types of funds and property.
