Freezing orders

Worldwide freezing orders are one of the most powerful weapons of the English Courts. But how do you get one and what will it do?

Watch our video to find out how to give yourself the best chance of recovering your money or assets from a fraudster.

Search and seize orders

Along with freezing orders, search orders are another powerful tool the English Courts use in the fight against alleged fraudsters.

Search and seize orders will allow you the opportunity to enter the premises of a target fraudster or his associates (and sometimes even innocent third party associates).

But how do you obtain a search order? Watch our video to find out more.

Being served with a freezing order

What should you do if you are served with a Freezing Order?

Being served with a Freezing Order will often come as a great shock, whether or not any wrongdoing has taken place. This can be an incredibly daunting prospect with very real implications.

Watch our video for Stephen’s ‘golden rules’ setting out how you should handle this situation.
