Civil Fraud
Civil fraud matters form an integral part of Edwin Coe’s commercial litigation workload, with key members of the team undertaking a major volume of work in this area. The firm acted in the $6BN multi-jurisdictional fraud case – JSC BTA Bank v Mukhtar Ablyazov and a tri-jurisdictional claim in which arrests have been made in various jurisdictions on a suspected money laundering operation between the IRA and the Italian Mafia.
Edwin Coe is at the forefront of securities and consumer fraud claims, often acting for large groups of consumers and shareholders. We may be considered amongst the few specialist claimant firms in the jurisdiction.
Edwin Coe has a very strong bias towards civil claimant work. This means that the firm is involved in many significant cases where it comes up against the ‘big City institutions’ represented by magic circle firms. Shareholder fraud and competition damages claims are the perfect examples of this, where the firm is often representing shareholder and consumer committees made up of private individuals.
Edwin Coe is one of a very small number of firms specialising in work in sub-Saharan Africa, advising the World Bank and donor governments among others. This is another specialty that has inevitably involved the firm in some large and complex frauds.
