Fraud poses a significant financial and reputational risk to businesses of all sizes, both at a domestic level and internationally, and a dramatic life-changing situation for individual victims losing all their savings. ARTEFAKTUM helps to reduce the risk of fraud and is ready to detect fraud and responds effectively when it is seen.

Our expertise comes into play primarily once a fraud has been detected. Our disputes team is constantly working on fraud cases, many of which arise in a cross-border context giving rise to complex conflicts of laws issues. Our extensive experience of dealing with cross-border cases enables us to devise pragmatic and effective strategies for the preservation and recovery of assets internationally, working in conjunction with lawyers in other jurisdictions. We are able to move quickly and confidently to obtain targeted urgent injunctive relief and our team has been involved in some of the leading international enforcement cases resulting in proceedings in the appellate courts of numerous countries around the world.

Our internal investigations team is regularly involved in investigating the full extent and implications of suspected frauds. We will ensure that investigations are conducted in a way which will preserve privilege and comply with applicable laws.

Unlike many of our competitors, we tailor the strategy and team to suit the case. Fraud cases can be highly complicated from a factual and legal perspective. We want clients to benefit from our experience without paying to ‘reinvent the wheel’. We therefore aim to keep investigations teams small and focussed  throughout your matter.
