The words "business crime" might well conjure up thoughts of a minority of disreputable companies, certainly not an area that your business could be involved in.

As government bodies are encouraged to be more proactive you could become the subject of a criminal investigation. There are more than 50 regulatory bodies that prosecute in the courts many of them actively targeting the commercial sector. These agencies, which have wide ranging and sweeping powers, include: Health and Safety Executive; Food Standards Agency, DTI, Environment Agency, HM Customs and Excise and the Inland Revenue.

At Forbes we have experience in all of the main areas of business crime. Forbes is an approved member of the Specialist Fraud Panel. Membership of this panel is awarded to particular firms which are able to demonstrate particular expertise in the analysis and presentation of the complex data on which these cases invariably depend.

We have expert Solicitors at each of our offices based in Accrington, Blackburn, Chorley, Leeds, Manchester and Preston.
