Matters Requiring Careful Legal Assessment
Depending on the facts, a matter may involve questions about the underlying transaction, the roles of the individuals concerned, relevant documents, the source and movement of funds, communications and the applicable legal provisions.
The existence of a commercial dispute does not, by itself, determine whether criminal liability is involved. The legal characterisation depends on the facts and applicable law.
