Dedicated legal help for fraud and asset recovery
Fraud and asset recovery matters demand swift, strategic action. Whether involving misappropriated funds, dishonest fiduciaries, or complex cross-border arrangements, these disputes often unfold in high-pressure environments where timing, discretion, and legal precision are critical.
At Parslows LLP, we act in fraud and asset recovery matters involving misappropriated funds, dishonest fiduciaries, and cross-border claims. Our team moves swiftly where urgency, strategy, and independence from institutional conflicts are essential. We are experienced in injunctions and coordinating with counsel to secure assets in Jersey.
Fraud can take many forms, unauthorised transfers, concealment of assets, breach of trust, or manipulation of financial records. In some cases, the wrongdoing may be internal, involving directors, trustees, or professional advisers. In others, it may stem from external actors exploiting weaknesses in governance or oversight. Regardless of the source, the impact can be significant, both financially and reputationally, and requires a focused legal response.
Our work in this area is often urgent. We are regularly instructed to seek freezing injunctions, disclosure orders, and other interim relief to prevent dissipation of assets and preserve the status quo. These applications require careful preparation and a clear understanding of the evidential and procedural requirements under Jersey law. We act decisively, coordinating with overseas counsel where necessary to ensure that recovery efforts are aligned across jurisdictions.
We also advise on the broader strategy for asset recovery, including tracing and enforcement. This may involve working with forensic experts, engaging with financial institutions, and navigating complex ownership structures. Our team is experienced in dealing with trusts, corporate entities, and nominee arrangements, and we understand the challenges that can arise when assets are held through opaque or multi-layered vehicles.
Independence is a key feature of our offering. We are often instructed in situations where larger firms may be conflicted due to their involvement with institutional trustees, financial service providers, or other parties connected to the dispute. Our ability to act without institutional constraints allows us to provide focused, conflict-free advice, with a clear commitment to our clients’ interests.
Fraud and asset recovery matters are rarely straightforward. They require not only legal expertise but also a strategic mindset and the ability to manage risk across multiple fronts. We work closely with clients to assess the situation, identify priorities, and implement a recovery plan that is both legally robust and commercially viable. Whether the goal is to recover funds, remove a dishonest fiduciary, or unwind a fraudulent transaction, we provide clear, practical guidance at every stage.
We also understand the importance of discretion. Many fraud-related disputes involve sensitive information, reputational concerns, or ongoing business relationships. Our team handles these matters with care, ensuring that confidentiality is maintained and that the legal process supports, not undermines, broader commercial objectives.
At Parslows LLP, we combine technical precision with commercial focus. Whether you are dealing with a suspected fraud, seeking to recover assets, or responding to allegations of misconduct, we are here to help you navigate the complexities with confidence and clarity.
