Reducing risk
Fraud is an ever present issue for retailers, even with sophisticated technologies such as chip and pin. With an international reputation for civil and criminal fraud expertise, we can offer you the advice you need, in the right commercial context.
Our specialist team has advised retail clients on a wide range of fraud and asset recovery matters including warehouse stock misappropriation, procurement fraud by suppliers, and employee fraud/whistleblowing issues. We have successfully recovered millions of pounds of misappropriated funds, tracing assets of fraudsters and their accomplices across international boundaries. Many of our clients have taken advantage of tailored training and advice on fraud response plans, money laundering problems and identity theft issues.
We can also work closely with you to ensure you have the right systems and procedures in place for handling product liability situations. This includes investigating and defending claims arising out of product failure, assisting in the implementation of product recalls or withdrawals, managing PR, pursuing claims against insurers and/or suppliers and dealing with product tampering, blackmail and other targeted criminal activity.
Our team has advised many leading retailers on product liability and crisis management issues, including some of the largest recalls in Europe.
