Debt recovery and investigations

Expert assistance to address and investigate financial fraud, recover funds owed to you and review or replace liquidators or bankruptcy trustees.
Overcoming fraud and insolvency

Are you owed money? Has your debtor stopped responding to your calls or mislead you regarding payment? Unfortunately, there may come a time when you or your business face an insolvency situation. Whether it’s a problem debtor, an evasive supplier or one of your client’s companies, seeking expert assistance will help you determine the best course of action and recover the money that is owed to you.

Similarly, if you find yourself a victim of financial fraud, you need a professional investigative team to conduct a thorough examination of all the facts. If your money has disappeared, the debtor has appointed a liquidator or bankruptcy trustee who is unwilling to investigate, or the debtor has phoenixed their assets into a new entity, our insolvency specialists are here to help recover funds and achieve an effective outcome.

Fighting fraud is crucial

Even in situations where recovery might seem difficult or impossible, it is moral imperative that cases of financial fraud, misconduct or criminal behaviour are called out and acted upon. Our complex investigations team can detect any signs of financial wrongdoing, trace assets and employ a number of statutory powers and investigative tools to uncover the truth.
