Prosecuting Economic Crime Cases

Serious economic crime cases place unique strains on the criminal justice system and many prosecution lawyers are not sufficiently experienced in dealing with the complex issues these cases present. Equally, many are not sufficiently devious to cope with the kind of defendants they sometimes have to cope with.

Commonly, these include bankers, auditors, accountants, economic crimes investigators and specialist and document examiners.

This programme is aimed at economic crimes Special Casework lawyers and also those lawyers who prosecute these crimes on an occasional basis.
