Defence Against Charity Fraud Allegations

Have you been accused of committing charity fraud? If so, our specialist team of solicitors is here to offer the guidance you need. We can help if you are an employee or trustee of the charity, or if you normally have no dealings with the charity but have been charged with committing external fraud against it.

With years of experience working on cases of this kind, we know that seeking legal advice in the early stages of an investigation can make a big difference to the outcome of your case. Therefore, it is essential to get help from the experts, ensuring you are well defended against your charges. Call us on 0345 872 6666 or fill in our online enquiry form and we will get back to you.

Why Choose JMW?

JMW has vast experience in helping those accused of committing charity fraud. As a result, we have great insight into the charity and voluntary sector and how these kinds of cases typically work.

All charities are vulnerable to being defrauded due to the high value of assets they handle, as well as the fact that they employ so many people and work with various external agencies. It is unnervingly easy for those who work for charities, and have the best intentions, to become unwittingly embroiled in fraudulent dealings. Our team will fight for your reputation and help you defend against these serious allegations.

The business crime team at JMW, which represents organisations and individuals across the UK, has a reputation for being one of the best in the North West and our track record of successfully representing clients facing charity fraud charges speaks for itself.
