What falls into this category
Economic offences cover investment and deposit fraud, chit fund collapses, bank and loan fraud, misappropriation by directors and employees, GST and tax evasion prosecutions, and multi-level marketing schemes. Many begin as complaints by investors or lenders and grow into multi-agency investigations.
The common feature is documents. These are cases won and lost on ledgers, board resolutions, bank statements and email trails: which is why the defence file has to be built and organised long before the trial starts.
The parallel tracks you have to manage
A serious financial matter rarely stays in one forum, and each track has its own clock.
How we work these cases
We start by mapping exposure across every forum, then decide the sequence. Often the most valuable early work is unglamorous: assembling a complete, indexed document set so that responses to summons are consistent and quick.
Where the underlying dispute is commercial and the complainant’s real objective is recovery, a structured settlement can end the criminal exposure far more efficiently than a decade of litigation. We will always test that route before assuming a trial is inevitable.
