Financial Crimes

☑ Fraudulent Misappropriation: We brought a criminal proceeding against a supplier for misappropriation of payments involving a Japanese construction project.

Investigation

☑ Fraud Investigation Practice Group: We have established a strong practice group composed of consultants with significant expertise in fraud investigations. Thorough investigations are crucial to the success of any fraud case. Criminal cases require a high standard of proof, which necessitates multiple sources of evidence, including documentary and real evidence.

In Milon and Ors. vs. The State, the court provided guidance on the admissibility of confessional statements in criminal cases. The judicial confession before the magistrate was deemed voluntary as the accused was warned of the consequences, given sufficient time to consider, and allowed privacy to reflect on their decision. This judgment highlights the importance of procedural adherence in investigations.

Trial

Criminal trials, tortious legal proceedings, and defamation trials require steady and continuous legal support over several years. Our dispute resolution department lawyers regularly attend courts ranging from the High Court to district and magistrate courts, as well as tribunals, to manage procedural steps and conduct hearings. Our in-house support teams—including Supreme Court, district court, and consultancy teams—coordinate with clients and other professionals to manage drafting, investigation, and document collection.

Appeal/Revision

Appeals and revisions arise out of orders or judgments. Depending on the seriousness of the matter and parties involved, disadvantaged parties often pursue every available legal avenue. Our dedicated department, supported by branches across multiple geographic locations, ensures swift action within the shortest possible timeframe.
