Fraud & extradition

Fraud & extradition

Outer Temple Chambers has a national and international reputation in the highly specialised field of commercial fraud and the inter-jurisdictional issues of extradition, asset tracing and recovery and regulation of financial markets.

Members of chambers have experience of both advising on pre-emptive actions which may avoid completely or mitigate the impact of proceedings, and, when proceedings arise, acting for the prosecution or the defence.

We work extensively in foreign jurisdictions in connection with extradition, cross-border powers relating to arrest and asset recovery and the complex international matrix of statutory provisions.

Our track record in major commercial crime is well proven and members of Chambers have appeared in many high profile serious fraud cases.

We have a long standing association with top level financial regulators both in the City of London and other jurisdictions, and also with the modernisation of professional regulation in medicine, accountancy, the law, and sport, among others. We have a strong and growing association with the FSA for whom our barristers are either directly instructed to advise and appear on complex issues, or, through secondment into both its RDC and Enforcement divisions.

A partnership with BDO Stoy Hayward’s Asset Investigation and Control Group in the field of asset recovery in the High Court and Court of Appeal demonstrates our ability to adopt a commercial approach and offer practical and sensible business solutions. This joint venture gives clients efficient and cost effective access to market leading specialists.
