Systemic and organized fraud costs U.S. businesses and consumers billions of dollars each year. Addressing corporate vulnerability to these pernicious acts requires a highly nuanced understanding of fraudulent practices and related law—and a multifaceted approach encompassing strategic prevention, proactive detection and investigation, affirmative litigation, and exhaustive recovery.
Akerman's Fraud and Recovery Practice provides comprehensive fraud management services, representing insurers, retailers, investors, financial institutions, and others affected by organized fraud. As one of the first U.S. law firms with a national focus on fraud and recovery, we are valued for our multi-jurisdictional experience and deep sector knowledge. We are ardent advocates for our clients and, as a multidisciplinary team, we provide seamless representation throughout the entire fraud and recovery process.
Akerman represents a number of the largest U.S. insurance companies in investigating and litigating complex fraud schemes. We are also one of the few law firms working to protect the financial interests of self-insured retailers from schemes related to premises liability, including false personal injury claims. Our work has resulted in the creation of new laws aimed at reducing future financial losses for payers and the establishment of new guidelines for courts nationwide. We are also guiding our clients in proactively addressing corporate cybersecurity and defending retailers and other companies after an electronic data loss.
By judicial appointment, we routinely represent victims of Ponzi and other investment fraud schemes in bankruptcy cases stemming from fraudulent actors and operations. Our work has resulted in a number of the largest recoveries in U.S. history on behalf of institutional investors, high-net-worth individuals, and other trustees and creditors.
