Private Investigations
for Fraud and Financial Crime
A dedicated private arm within Duarte and Finch, working alongside Interpol and international agencies to investigate fraud, trace assets, and stand with victims from first report through to resolution.
A private investigative arm, backed by a full legal practice
Not every case that reaches us begins with a lawsuit. Some begin with a suspicion, a missing sum of money, or a family that no longer knows who to trust. Our private investigations arm exists for exactly these moments, bringing together former law enforcement investigators, forensic analysts, and the advocates of Duarte and Finch under one roof.
We work closely with Interpol and law enforcement partners across borders to trace fraud, follow the movement of stolen or diverted funds, and build a case that will hold up in court. Where other firms stop at advice, we go further: we investigate, we document, and we represent you all the way through.
Speak to Our TeamOur Approach
Three principles guide every case we take on, from the first confidential call to the final resolution.
Thorough Investigation
We examine every aspect of a case, from financial records to digital communications, to build the strongest possible foundation for recovery and representation.
Cross-Border Coordination
Fraud rarely stays within one jurisdiction. We work directly with Interpol and local law enforcement partners wherever the evidence leads.
Client-First Representation
You work with one team throughout, the investigators who trace what happened and the advocates who represent you, kept informed at every stage.
Every kind of fraud and financial crime case
From a single suspicious transfer to a coordinated international scheme, our investigators and advocates work as one team on every matter we take on.
Fraud Investigation
Deep, methodical investigation into suspected fraud, from internal misappropriation to organised financial crime.
Asset Tracing and Recovery
Following the money across accounts, companies, and borders to identify and recover what was taken.
Interpol and Cross-Border Liaison
Direct coordination with Interpol and international law enforcement on cases that cross jurisdictions.
Digital and Financial Forensics
Forensic examination of financial records, devices, and digital trails to build evidence that stands up in court.
Victim Case Filing Support
Hands on help preparing and filing a case, so victims are never left to navigate the process alone.
Legal Representation
Full representation through to resolution, from the first report to a courtroom decision or recovered settlement.
From first report to resolution
A clear, structured path so you always know what stage your case is at and what happens next.
Confidential Report
You bring us your situation in complete confidence, and we assess the facts before anything else moves forward.
Investigation Begins
Our investigators gather evidence, examine financial records, and identify how and where the fraud took place.
Interpol Coordination
Where a case crosses borders, we liaise directly with Interpol and local authorities to trace funds and suspects.
Case Filed and Documented
Findings are compiled into a formal case file, and we file on your behalf with the relevant authorities.
Legal Representation
Our advocates represent you through to resolution, whether that means a settlement, recovery, or trial.
You are not expected to face this alone
Discovering that you or your business has been defrauded is disorienting, and the process of reporting it can feel just as overwhelming as the fraud itself. We built this arm of the firm so that victims have somewhere to turn that combines real investigative capability with genuine legal representation.
From your first call, you work with one team throughout, the investigators who trace what happened and the advocates who represent you. You are kept informed at every stage, in language you can actually understand.
