Olliers specialises in defending  large scale, complex and often high profile fraud and criminal cases.  We were one of the original members of the Specialist Fraud Panel and our teams are highly experienced in dealing with cases prosecuted by the Serious Fraud Office, the Department of Trade and Industry, HM Revenue and Customs and the Police at local, regional and national level. 

Nationally, few firms have comparable experience in dealing with HMRC prosecutions.   Partner Richard Holiday and his team have acted in relation to a significant number of major operations over recent years. The team is set for a number of high  profile trials in 2011.

The firm  has acted in numerous cases brought by the SFO, the DTI, and Trading Standards, dealing with allegations ranging from fraud against large institutions such as Banks, Charities, local authorities and the NHS to allegations of bribery and corruption. We are frequently asked to represent Company Directors and professionals

A specialist department headed by Jeremy Pinson deals exclusively in Restraint, Receivership, Confiscation and Asset Recovery.

The firm’s reputation for committed and rigorous defence work has meant that Olliers continue to attract heavyweight criminal cases.  The team has enviable experience in the full range of criminal cases, including gangland murders, multi-handed drug conspiracies, terrorism allegations, people smuggling and a wide range of cases involving undercover operations.
