Theft & Fraud

Experienced Defence for Theft & Fraud Allegations

Theft offences can range from low-level shoplifting to more serious allegations involving breach of trust or high-value property. The prosecution must prove dishonesty and an intention to permanently deprive.

We provide:

  • Clear advice on the elements of the offence and the evidence required
  • Detailed analysis of witness evidence and CCTV where available
  • Advice on possible defences, including lack of intent or mistake
  • Preparation for trial or mitigation where appropriate

Each case turns on its facts, and early advice is key to identifying the best approach.

Fraud

Fraud allegations can be complex and are often based on financial transactions, communications and patterns of behaviour. These cases may be investigated over a prolonged period before charge.

We will:

  • Review financial records and documentary evidence in detail
  • Analyse the prosecution’s case for dishonesty and intent
  • Identify weaknesses or gaps in the evidence
  • Advise on interview strategy and defence preparation

Careful preparation is essential, particularly in cases involving large volumes of material.

Money laundering

Money laundering allegations often arise alongside other offences and can involve the handling, transfer or use of criminal property. These cases frequently rely on financial analysis and circumstantial evidence.

We provide:

  • Advice on the legal definition of criminal property and knowledge or suspicion
  • Detailed review of financial transactions and account activity
  • Challenges to the prosecution’s assumptions and interpretation of evidence
  • A structured defence strategy tailored to the complexity of the case

These cases require a methodical and detailed approach to ensure that the evidence is properly scrutinised.
