Unrivalled expertise in multi-jurisdictional investigations and prosecutions

Our global expertise in private prosecutions is unmatched. Our specialist team includes a number of former prosecutors in key jurisdictions where private prosecutions can be brought, such as Canada, the UK, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand.

With more than 50 offices worldwide our team has the strength and depth to advise companies and individuals on the most complex matters which may be the subject of a private prosecution, including fraud, cyber/data breaches, intellectual property and trade mark violations.

Clyde & Co has its own in-house forensic accountants, investigators and business intelligence department based in the UK which can research open source material and uncover valuable information. We also work with a number of world leading forensic accounting and asset tracing firms.

We advise how and when private prosecutions can be brought or operate in parallel to existing civil proceedings, and on which is the most appropriate option, including costs. Our civil fraud and litigation departments also work with third-party litigation funders.

  • Advised on D&O/PI cover for a leading national accounting firm

    The FSA led an investigation into operations systems and controls (FS regulated advice).  This raised questions regarding the nature and extent of our client's cover. We were therefore required to advise as to the adequacy of this cover. We then assisted with the transition of our client into another accountancy firm.
