Fraud

Global Reach, Local Defense.

If you or your business is under investigation for fraud, or if you suspect you have been a victim of financial crime, time is the enemy. You need legal counsel that acts immediately.

Maaron Law Firm combines deep expertise in the OHADA region with the global power of the International Fraud Group (IFG). Whether you are defending your reputation or hunting down stolen assets, we direct you through each step to ensure the best outcome for your organization.

If You Are Under Investigation (Defense)

Fraud investigations can be highly disruptive and can destroy a reputation overnight. Our expert team acts fast to limit the operational and reputational impact on your organization.

Strategic Cooperation : We advise on how to cooperate with regulators and police (locally and internationally) to leave your business in the best possible position.
Criminal Defense : If a case follows an investigation, we defend you all the way. A fraud conviction has serious consequences. We ensure that police, regulators, and courts treat you fairly.
Global Defense : Through our IFG and Legalink networks, if your investigation spans multiple countries, we coordinate your defense globally, providing a shield across borders.

If You Are a Victim (Asset Recovery & Internal Investigations)

Suspecting fraud within your own company is stressful. We offer a discreet, powerful alternative to immediately involving the police.

Internal Investigations : We can investigate your business for fraud ourselves. This keeps you in full control and fully informed before authorities are involved.
The IFG Advantage – 'Follow the Money' : As a member of the International Fraud Group, we possess a unique capability in the region : the ability to trace and freeze assets globally. If your funds have been moved out of the OHADA zone to Europe, Asia, or offshore havens, we can activate our network to secure freezing orders in foreign jurisdictions in record time.
Civil Fraud Claims : We work closely with our commercial litigation team to bring civil fraud claims. Unlike criminal cases, civil claims handled by Maaron Law Firm allow you to stay in control and are often the fastest route to recovering lost assets.
