    Bounce Back Loan Scheme fraud and Director Disqualifications
    2022-03-18

    Over recent months we have seen numerous references in the press to investigations into Bounce Back Loan Scheme (BBLS) fraud. A year ago the National Audit Office estimated that around 11% of the loans granted (some £4.9bn) were procured fraudulently. More recent official estimates suggest the figure is between £3.3bn and £5bn.

    Needless to say attempting to recover these funds is a enormous task. The National Crime Agency is investigating some of the biggest cases, but equally banks and HMRC are actively seeking to identify fraud and recover the loans.

    Dal riciclaggio alla sicurezza sul lavoro, dal nuovo codice della crisi di impresa sino al codice antimafia. L'inarrestabile espansione della 231
    2022-02-01

    L’anno 2021 ha visto il susseguirsi di numerosi interventi legislativi con un rilevante impatto sulla responsabilità amministrativa da reato degli enti. Il presente aggiornamento ha lo scopo di riassumere e fornire un quadro delle modifiche intervenute al D.lgs. 231/2001 e delle norme che, per motivi diversi, lo richiamano, rendendo di fatto l’adozione di un Modello di Organizzazione e Gestione un adempimento ormai imprescindibile per molte organizzazioni.

    Key Trends for 2022 - Insolvency & Dispute Resolution
    2022-01-27

    The impact of Covid-19 is clearly the big talking point for 2022, with several questions arising: will new variants emerge, what steps will governments take to limit the spread, and what impact will it have on industries? To date, enforcement actions, insolvencies and restructurings have been relatively light, but with new restructuring legislation reforms on the horizon, and creditors starting to ramp up speed to enforcement, it appears likely that there will be an increase in winding up and cross-border restructuring work.

    Legal aspects of fighting cybercrime appearing in the form of business email compromise
    2022-01-11

    Business email compromise, or BEC is a type of cyber-facilitated fraud where fraudsters compromise IT networks, intercept business communications, and by using different manipulation techniques, trick employees into making wire transfers to fraudulent bank accounts. The fraud itself is not a new creature. It is an old trick, merely conducted with the use of modern technologies.
