How we can help you
Fraud in business law is rarely straightforward. It often involves fast-moving, high-value transactions, complex financial structures, and calculated deception. Our business fraud lawyers and corporate fraud lawyer team has deep experience managing cyber fraud, accounting irregularities, invoice fraud, bribery, secret commissions, banking fraud, and money laundering. We advise clients across industries on fraud investigations, urgent court action, and fraud recovery strategies. Whether you’re facing fraud by business partners, internal misconduct, or white-collar crime, our fraud recovery lawyers act quickly to protect your assets with targeted legal tools.
Here’s how we can help:
- Asset tracing, including briefing offshore counsel and accountants
- Bankruptcy, financial restructuring and insolvency
- Civil and criminal fraud claims
- Claim or defense analysis and assessment
- Dispute resolution and litigation
- Financial services and regulation
- Freezing and disclosure orders
- Internet and eCommerce fraud
- Risk advisory, including preventative strategies and policies
- Trade secrets including misappropriation of confidential information
- Data theft
- Strategies to regain misappropriated funds and assets
Protecting your assets and interests after fraud
As is too often the case with fraud matters, assets and funds are usually shifted, laundered or even sent overseas in an attempt to hide any wrongdoing and prevent the victim from recovering what was taken. To ensure you maximise your prospects of recovery, it is imperative you act quickly when you suspect fraud and if possible, before this happens.
We have significant experience in making successful interlocutory applications for freezing orders, search and seizure orders, delivery-up orders and third party disclosure orders from banks or other institutions.
We have an experienced team of business fraud lawyers available at short notice to conduct a fraud investigation or obtain urgent injunctive relief.
A victim’s primary concern is to recover the assets that have been stolen. Civil remedies, rather than police intervention, is often the best method in maximising your recovery options as it can include creative or flexible strategies that are not easily obtainable through the criminal justice system.
In the event that our clients wish to report the fraudulent activity of their employees or other third parties to the enforcement authorities, we can guide them in their interaction with those authorities, including providing information to the authorities to assist with the preparation of criminal proceedings against the perpetrators of the fraud.
Once a criminal prosecution begins, any civil proceeding can potentially be stayed until the prosecution is finalised which may take years. During this time, your money may be halfway around the world and tracing it becomes virtually impossible.
Understandably, a victim’s first instinct is to go to the police; however, their involvement can be problematic due to the time that they may require to investigate. For this reason, we find that it is often more efficient to pursue a civil case prior to going to the Police.
Business fraud can be very emotionally taxing too, because it often happens amongst trusted family or friends, business partners or colleagues. Our fraud recovery lawyers can help steer you in the right direction to navigate the loss, which is often more than just financial.

“I cannot recommend Solomon Hollett Lawyers enough. The team were fantastic from start to finish. My elderly mother recently lost my father and there were some delicate matters to finalise. From receptionists to the Partners, my mother was treated with respect, kindness, understanding and given every assistance and courtesy she could want. We were informed every step of the process and they made it 100% stress free. Their fees were more than reasonable, especially as my mother is a pensioner. If you are looking for a firm that truly cares, that you can trust to do what you require, when you require it and within budget look no further than the team at Solomon Hollett Lawyers, they’re fantastic!”
Sheryl
“The last few months have caused a significant amount of stress for me around an estate matter. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I searched for legal assistance since I have never had to use the services of a law firm before. Other Google reviews led me to Solomon Hollett Lawyers where I found Brandon to be very helpful and knowledgeable. Just knowing that he was supporting me in this matter made all the difference and helped to facilitate a positive outcome.”
Vicki
“From our first interaction, I knew Andrew Bower was the right lawyer for my property dispute case. His extensive knowledge and clear communication transformed what seemed like a complex issue into something manageable and understandable, giving me the confidence to move forward. Throughout the entire process, Andrew was consistently diligent, attentive, respectful, and compassionate. I always felt heard and supported every step of the way. He made time to address my concerns and provided reassurance that greatly eased my mind. Not only did he handle the legal complexities with professionalism, but he also alleviated the emotional stress that came with it. Andrew was a true blessing in my corner, fighting for me with unwavering dedication. The favourable outcome was a direct result of his expertise and commitment. I truly believe that not all lawyers are created equal—Andrew stands head and shoulders above the rest. His blend of legal brilliance, compassion, and relentless dedication makes him an exceptional lawyer. I’m beyond grateful for his service and support, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him without any hesitation.”
Thao
“Great experience dealing with the team from Solomon Hollett hired to represent me in a contested estate Will in which I was the executor. Best described as down to earth interactions with good comms and professionalism maintained throughout, a positive result was achieved and I have no hesitation in recommending the team.”
Thomas
“Almost two years after winding up my business I received an erroneous letter of demand for close to $200k from a Global supplier which came with a lien on my home. I engaged Andrew from Solomon Hollett based on a recommendation and from the outset I have been nothing but impressed. The communication from Andrew and his team has been prompt and concise. Unfazed by the unlimited resources and size of the plaintiff Andrew was able to negotiate a settlement of less than 5% and obviously have the lien on my home removed. Should you find yourself in need of legal services I have no hesitation in recommending Andrew and his team.”
David
“I have engaged the legal services of Solomon Hollett on a couple of occasions. They have always been professional and have obtained the best outcome possible in every situation. They also treat each matter with care and consideration for their clients. I can highly recommend them.”
Heather
“We had a great experience with Brandon from Solomon Hollett. From the first phone call, I could tell that he had a solid grasp of our situation and what we wanted to achieve. He was very helpful and very responsive throughout our dealings with him. He got everything done in a timely way and we’re very happy with the result. Definitely recommended! Thanks, Brandon :)”
AJ
“We are very grateful to Craig for his outstanding work. Craig was highly professional, clear about his role and what he could do for us and he handled our case with an incisive precision. Craig fully and respectfully explained the processes and complexities of the case in a language that made sense to us, and he outlined in detail steps that we had to take. What impressed us most was his willingness to understand the complexities of our Church structures and laws and take on board our principles and concerns. We cannot recommend Craig highly enough.”
Jaine
“Matthew Gunn was highly recommended to my wife and I. We both needed to renew our old out-dated Wills. We found Matthew to offer very good advice, he also is a good listener and once he gathered the details and our wishes he then gave valuable legal suggestions to ensure we had new Wills that suited our complex needs. Our new detailed legal Wills are exactly the way we wanted it. We can now rest easy knowing that should something happen to one or both of us, our Wills will ensure our investments and wishes are managed the way we requested. If you need legal advice or Wills drawn up, I would recommend you make an appointment to see Matthew Gunn.”
Paul
“I had an exceptional experience with Solomon Hollett Lawyers, particularly thanks to Annabel and Brandon. Annabel was my primary contact throughout my family provisions claim, and her professionalism and honesty made a significant difference. She was always open and transparent, ensuring I understood each step of the process. Brandon, as the director, provided valuable insights and guidance that further reinforced my trust in their team. Both of them set realistic expectations, which helped me navigate a challenging situation with confidence. I truly felt supported and informed every step of the way. I highly recommend Solomon Hollett Lawyers for anyone needing expert legal assistance!”
Alanah and Jarrad
“We engaged Solomon Hollett to represent us (executors) in a challenging and frustrating estate matter. We cannot praise both Morgan Solomon and Matthew Gunn highly enough for the extremely professional and understanding approach they took and their attention to detail. Their knowledge of both the law and estate procedures was second to none and their communication skills were outstanding. We settled the matter at mediation thanks in large part to their support and guidance. I would very strongly recommend them.”
Ian and Alan
“Many thanks to Brandon Hetherington who helped us with a recent property transaction matter and achieved a favourable outcome. Brandon was referred to us by an interstate law firm as a matter of urgency. We were and are immensely grateful that he was exceptionally professional, efficient, knowledgeable, informative, experienced, responsive and respectful in assisting us. His advice gave us extra confidence in dealing with the matter and we were fully satisfied with the results. We cannot thank Brandon enough. We give 10 out of 5 stars for Brandon, and highly recommend his services and Solomon Hollett Lawyers.”

“Morgan is absolutely outstanding. Thorough, considerate and clearly communicates, but also works with compassion. He was so reassuring and helpful we couldn’t believe that treatment from a lawyer. Cannot speak highly enough of him and the work they do.”
Kristen
“What an amazing team of professionals who are also caring, contactable, approachable. Thank you so much.”
Peter
I am forever grateful to have found Matthew Gunn (of Solomon Hollett Lawyers) to handle my complex family estate matter. I organised a free telephone consult from interstate with Matthew (because of positive online reviews), and I am so pleased that I did. From the outset, Matthew’s empathy, estate legal knowledge and confidence in my case was reassuring and a great relief. I was not only impressed with Matthew’s knowledge of estate law but also his kindness and unwavering persistence to fight for me.
My case was complex (it was drawn out for approximately 18 months) and whilst Matthew was my main contact, I also had the pleasure to work with Jessica Spee. I felt very supported by both Matthew and Jessica and impressed with their high level of professionalism, respect and compassion. This professionalism also carried through to support staff. I wholeheartedly recommend Solomon Hollett Lawyers and thank Matthew and Jessica for their work to settle my case favourably, so that I can move forward with my life.
