Victims of Crime in UAE. Edmonds Marshall McMahon is a unique firm of attorneys (known in the UK as solicitors and barristers) with an unrivalled track record in conducting major fraud prosecutions in the UK, UAE and elsewhere. The three founding partners have a combined total of 70 years’ experience in criminal justice and the firm offers a novel service to victims of crime – that is, of course, the ability to bring a private prosecution.
We investigate and prosecute the full range of criminal offences with understanding, dedication and a focus on results. We specialise in building good cases. You might know that you have a case, but not what evidence you require to take it forward. You might know where evidence is, but not how to get it. We work together with skilled and experienced investigators to gather the best evidence to successfully prosecute your case.
Our clients in the UAE benefit from our global reach and access to specialists, including investigators and forensic accountants, in various jurisdictions. We understand that fraud, corporate dishonesty and financial crime often requires a tailored international strategy and our knowledge of local jurisdictions, including the UAE, allows us to take fast effective action on behalf of our clients. We do not believe in a “one size fits all” approach to prosecuting offences and pride ourselves on our imaginative approach to cases, which yields exceptional results for our clients.
We act for individuals who have been the victims of the following types of offences:
- Fraud by friends, relatives, trading platforms or companies in investment schemes;
- False adverse possession claims;
- Assault including incidents of road rage, sexual assault and domestic violence;
- Rape including date rape;
- Harassment or stalking;
- Environmental crime;
- Political protests;
- Perverting the course of justice;
- Criminal damage, such as damage to property in the workplace or home; and
- Blackmail.
If you are the victim of any of the above crimes, you should seek legal advice at the earliest opportunity. We can advise you (free of charge) by telephone or email as to whether we will be able to assist with your case. In the unlikely event that we are unable to assist, we will advise you on who to approach for the results you are seeking.
