Engaging with Pedigree Lawyers and Counsel

Our lawyers and counsel have exceptional experience, knowledge and understanding of investigating procedures and officers, which always proves crucial in obtaining a successful outcome.
A great example of this outstanding level of commitment, dedication and experience can be found in a recent case SKB Legal represented. Our team represented an Accountants firm that had been accused of committing fraud with the Covid-9 Small Business Grant. Right from the beginning, at the voluntary interview stage, which had taken place at the Council offices, the SKB Legal team were present to provide advice and representation for the client. The team adopted a non-confrontational attitude towards the investigators while reminding the Council that it was their duty to complete a fair and impartial investigation. Despite the limited information available in regards to the new legislation, SKB Legal was able to secure letters and references from the grant applicants. These explained that rather than fraud, this was, in fact, maladministration, which helped the client avoid prosecution.

In the case of investigation or suspicion of a criminal offence, the authority should seek the advice of a professional to prevent prosecution.
