Ward Hadaway team steps up to the challenge of Newcastle Legal Walk
A team of around 30 people from Ward Hadaway's Newcastle office stepped up to the challenge of an annual sponsored walk to help vulnerable people gain access to legal support.
Fraud is unfortunately becoming an increasingly common problem in the business world. The Home Office estimates that £51 billion is lost every year through fraud, an almost fourfold increase since 2006.
Developments in technology mean fraudsters are becoming more sophisticated in their methods. Left undetected, fraud can cost businesses millions in lost finances and even when fraudsters are found out, recovering those lost funds is not a simple task.
Our specialist anti-fraud team can help you fight back.
We can not only help identify fraudulent activity in organisations across the public and private sectors, we can also help you to recover the money that has been lost.
