Do you believe you are a victim of commercial fraud? Have you been accused of providing misleading information to obtain an investment in your business? We can help.
The term “commercial fraud” applies to a wide range of actions carried out by a company or business to underhandedly gain from another party. It can be treated as a criminal or civil matter depending on the nature of the fraud. Whether you have lost money due to a commercial fraud, or have been falsely accusing of fraudulent behaviour yourself, you need an expert team to fight your corner and achieve the right outcome.
What offences are classed as commercial fraud?
Several scenarios fall under the umbrella of commercial fraud, but the common denominator is typically dishonesty during a business transaction. Examples of commercial fraud offences include:
- Breach of contract
- Fraudulent misrepresentation
- Breach of Fiduciary Duty by a director
