Fraud and White Collar Crime

Dawn Raids (Emergency Service)

We offer immediate help to people and organisations who are visited or approached by police or other regulatory bodies such as the Serious Fraud Office, Financial Conduct Authority, or HMRC.

They may execute search warrants or use statutory powers to search business and home addresses and they may arrest and detain people for questioning or require the production of material. If this happens it is crucial to seek expert legal advice at the earliest possible opportunity.

If you need to get in touch outside of our office hours contact us here.

Whether it is the police, NCA, FCA, SFO or HMRC who are acting, we offer an emergency service to our clients to advise them about their rights when a warrant is being executed. 

Bindmans LLP ‘combines high-level, specialist expertise with a passionate commitment to the interests of their professional clients’.
