Company Profile
In a recent analysis by the Legal Services commission, Hanman Associates appeared as
one of the largest firms in the
country specialising in high cost cases - that is to say the serious and complex matters prosecuted by the Serious Fraud Office or HM Revenue & Customs, the investigation of
which sometimes takes years, leading to trials which frequently run for many weeks, if not months.
Although based in Manchester, the firm has represented clients throughout the country, in courts from Newcastle to Southampton. Our modern offices provide confidential meeting rooms,
supported by the latest technology, and access for both able-bodied and disabled clients. We are also prepared to travel to meet clients at their homes or offices, where this is more
convenient.
We have a team of experienced and dedicated lawyers,
paralegals and support staff, and have links with some of the leading barristers’ chambers
in Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham and London, together with well-established relationships
with a number of leading forensic accountants and other specialists.
We have extensive experience in defending cases of carousel fraud, MTIC and alcohol diversion fraud, advance fee fraud, money-laundering and confiscation proceedings.
We also represent clients charged with rape, murder and other serious crimes.
Legal Aid may well be available for your case, particularly in the Crown Court, but our sophisticated IT systems enable us to offer very competitive fee rates for private work.
Our offices are open every weekday between 8.00am and 5.30pm, but we also pride ourselves on being available to our clients for advice and assistance “24/7”.
