White-Collar Crime

Serious Fraud Defence Solicitor Sydney

Defending your reputation in complex white-collar investigations in Western Sydney, Parramatta, Penrith, Blacktown, Campbelltown and Liverpool

When your reputation, livelihood, and liberty are on the line, the quality of your legal representation is paramount. In the high-stakes area of white-collar crime, an investigation can be just as damaging as a formal charge.

Paul Wiggins is a respected senior criminal defence lawyer in Sydney with decades of experience. He delivers discreet, sophisticated, and strategic advocacy for individuals, executives, and business owners facing complex criminal charges.

Proactive Defence for Serious Fraud and Financial Allegations

White-collar matters are rarely straightforward. They involve massive volumes of data, intricate financial trails, and investigations by well-equipped regulatory bodies such as ASIC, the ATO, or the AFP. A meticulous technical and legal analysis of your case is essential to ensure you make informed decisions with a clear understanding of the potential consequences to you or your company.

We take a proactive stance, identifying weaknesses in the prosecution’s brief and engaging in high-level negotiations to have charges withdrawn or downgraded whenever possible.

Our areas of expertise include:

• Corporate fraud and embezzlement: Defending allegations of internal theft, document falsification, or misappropriation of company funds.
• Specialised fraud: Cyber fraud, insurance fraud, and identity theft.
• Tax fraud and evasion: Strategic management of ATO audits and Commonwealth prosecutions.
• Money laundering: Protecting assets against complex financial structuring allegations.
• Insider trading: Providing technical legal analysis for ASIC-led investigations.
• Deception and proceeds of crime: Addressing charges related to obtaining financial advantage by deception or the possession of criminal proceeds.
• Bribery and coercion: Expert defence against allegations of corruption or blackmail.
