Dawn raids
Dawn raids on businesses and the homes of senior directors and personnel are increasing as regulators use their powers to seize evidence and arrest those suspected of financial wrongdoing.
While raids can be distressing and disruptive, a quick and decisive response is crucial to preserve your legal rights, minimise financial and reputational damage to you and your business and help you regain control.
Our solicitors are on call 24 hours a day and will ensure any regulator acts fairly and within the permitted scope of their investigation.
Where appropriate, we will challenge the legality of warrants and orders that have been used to seize property such as documentation and electronic data and seek to recover as much as possible to enable your company to continue to trade.
Our lawyers will advise on the protection and recovery of confidential material that is subject to professional privilege between you and your legal team.
If you or your employees have been arrested we will advise on any interviews under caution and guide you through the investigation process.
