Edmonton White Collar Crime and Fraud Lawyer

White collar financial crimes defence

The financial crimes defence team at Haryett and Co. has the discipline and experience to expertly defend breach of trust and financial fraud charges related to Competition & Securities Acts violations. Not only are our lawyers well versed in the Canadian criminal code regarding these charges, but we also employ the expert advice and testimony of tax specialists, market consultants, actuaries and forensic accountants.

Breach of trust and financial fraud charges are often brought up when business and corporate dealings deteriorate into a criminal investigation. Often, shareholders and creditors will make allegations of unlawful diversion of corporate assets. The shareholders and creditors will then seek intervention that can bring criminal liability into consideration. Due to the fact that many parties are often involved and due to the complexity of the charges and the length of the investigation, it is imperative that you seek the guidance of a criminal defence firm that has the experience of Haryett and Co. We will leave no stone unturned and will investigate your complex issue by following the paper trail and relying on our expert’s advice.

Fraud and Identity theft charges defence

Fraud charges involve an offender who is accused of defrauding a person or the public of any service, money, property or valuable security. The offence of fraud will either be charged as less than $5,000 or greater than $5,000. At Haryett and Co. our fraud defence team looks to undermine the prosecution’s case because they have to prove that the accused offender had knowledge of the prohibited act and that the act could result in the deprivation of another person or entity. The charge of identity theft relates to the criminal use of another’s identity for fraudulent purposes. Because the charges can often be difficult for the Crown to prove, the lawyers at Haryett & Co. are prepared to handle your defence in the following areas of fraud:

  • credit card fraud
  • internet fraud
  • insurance fraud
  • mortgage fraud
  • tax fraud
  • bank fraud
  • identity fraud
  • computer fraud
