Defending a freezing order claim

Our expert defence team has been defending clients for the last 20 years, helping them to comply with the terms of the injunction, deal with document disclosure, prepare for court hearings and much more.
Applying for a freezing order
If you are a victim of fraud or worried about a debtor removing assets beyond your reach, a freezing order might be the right choice for you. These are complex court applications and freezing orders will not be granted without strong grounds.

We were delighted by the work undertaken by FWJ together with their team of third party professionals, including their barrister and forensic investigators. Their team approach ultimately resulted in successfully obtaining judgment of $35 million which we are currently seeking to enforce against the two defendants and others who benefitted from the fraud. We could not rate FWJ highly enough for their teamwork, dedication and legal and forensic expertise. We would highly recommend them for this type of work.
