Business Crime
There are only a very small number of legal firms in the UK that are accredited by the Legal Services Commission to act in what are known as "Very High Cost Serious Fraud Cases" - and Glaisyers is one of them.
We were selected to be a member of the Specialist Fraud Panel due to our vast experience, excellent reputation nationwide, and our proven ability to undertake the defence of extremely complex cases.
Our firm has recently received a special mention in the Legal 500 Directory as one of the country's leading firms in this complicated area of the law.
Very high cost fraud cases are classified after consideration of the anticipated length of trial, amount of documentation and the amount of costs to be incurred.
Although there are limited exceptions, in the main, only members of the Specialist Fraud Panel can undertake such complex high cost fraud cases under the Legal Services Commission's Very High Cost Criminal Cases Arrangements 2003.
