Fraud Lawyer

In 2007 ASIC commenced an investigation against me regarding AWB’s involvement in the UN Oil for Food Program. In December 2016, after a lengthy hearing in the Supreme Court, all 13 allegations were dismissed. After 9 long years it was a comprehensive & satisfying victory. Andrew’s method of listening to his client, methodically deconstructing & then reconstructing a body of evidence (he calls it his jigsaw method) & then presenting a case based on fact, was critical in enabling the Court to cut through the rhetoric, & deliberate complexity from the opposing side. During the trial Andrew’s sharp intellect proved invaluable in anticipating, countering & defeating the prosecutor’s court room tactics. I cannot speak highly enough of Andrew. I have no hesitation to recommend Andrew to any prospective client.

We engaged Andrew when our client, Dual Australia Pty Ltd, had been defrauded over $16M. Andrew gave timely and expert advice leading to the commencement of proceedings and a successful application where he appeared in the Supreme Court of Victoria and obtained asset Freezing orders and Search orders. Andrew was also intimately involved in negotiations leading to a quick resolution of the litigation. Our client was most pleased with the outcome and we wouldn’t hesitate to brief Andrew again.

We had a major fraud in our business commited by the company CFO. We didn’t expect to get our money back, but thanks to Andrew most was retrieved. We would have been in strife otherwise. Andrew was fantastic and once we achieved civil recovery, Andrew liaised with the police detectives resulting in the fraudster being jailed.

Andrew and I have successfully worked together on several complex fraud matters over the years and I would not hesitate to continue to do so in the future.
