We represent creditors in cases involving fraud and unlawful conduct.

When the conduct of a debtor, borrower, employee or business partner has been fraudulent or otherwise unlawful, a trust has been breached. Bringing an end to the unlawful conduct or securing remaining assets may require extensive legal action. It may also be necessary to examine the possibility of securing more assets by bringing lawsuits or taking further debt collection steps against the individuals behind the unlawful acts, trading partners, management members, advisors or other persons responsible.

We have assisted creditors, including public authorities and financial institutions, in a vast number of small and large cases involving fraud, including many cases with connections to many different countries. The matters range from embezzlement and fraudulent abuse of powers to fraud in relation to public authorities, including VAT carousel fraud and fraud related to other public disbursements. For instance, we currently assist the Danish tax authorities in a large number of actions for damages and debt collection proceedings concerning suspected fraudulent manipulation of the dividend tax refund scheme.
