Expert Guidance On Civil Fraud and Investigations
Expert Guidance On Civil Fraud and Investigations
Civil fraud can have serious and far reaching consequences, often involving significant financial loss, reputational harm and disruption to businesses or personal affairs. Fraud disputes frequently arise in complex commercial or personal contexts and require urgent, carefully considered legal action.
Addressing civil fraud successfully requires early strategic advice. And acting quickly can be critical to preserving evidence, protecting assets and preventing further loss. Without timely intervention, recovery options may be limited and the risk of continued harm increased.
Based in London and Manchester, Osbourne Pinner’s civil fraud and investigation solicitors provide clear, commercially focused advice tailored to the circumstances of each case. We act decisively and discreetly to protect our clients’ interests, identify available remedies and pursue effective outcomes.

Understanding Civil Fraud and Investigations
Civil fraud occurs where a party suffers loss as a result of dishonest conduct. That could be misrepresentation, concealment of information or abuse of trust. Unlike criminal fraud, civil fraud focuses on recovering losses and enforcing legal remedies through the civil courts.
Fraud claims can arise in a wide range of situations, including business relationships, investments, partnerships and contractual arrangements. These matters often involve complex factual backgrounds and require detailed investigation to establish what has occurred and who may be responsible.
At Osbourne Pinner, our civil fraud solicitors take a thorough and analytical approach to each case. We review the available evidence, assess potential claims and advise on the most effective strategy to protect your position and maximise recovery while managing risk and cost.
How We Handle Civil Fraud Claims and Investigations
Our approach to civil fraud and investigations is strategic, evidence-led and commercially focused. We begin by assessing the nature of the suspected fraud, the losses involved and the urgency of the situation to determine the most appropriate course of action.
Where necessary, we act quickly to preserve evidence and protect assets. This may involve advising on urgent court applications, disclosure orders or injunctions designed to prevent further dissipation and secure key information.
We also consider opportunities for resolution through negotiation or settlement where appropriate, balancing recovery prospects against cost, risk and proportionality. Where court proceedings are required, our experienced civil fraud solicitors provide robust representation throughout the litigation process.
