Our clients include closely held businesses in South Florida, national corporations with branches or operations in our region, and international companies that do business frequently or occasionally in Florida. Here are some examples of the kinds of cases we handle:
- Accounting fraud or theft of receivables through false endorsements

- Dishonest competition with the employer through undercut bidding or the use of shadow companies to misappropriate business opportunities
Our lawyers will explore all of the practical alternatives for recovering the losses suffered through embezzlement or employee fraud. Only rarely will direct recovery from the dishonest employee prove to be a viable option, but we know how to pursue a defrauded company's claims against transferees, corporate entities and other parties who might have benefited from an inside scam. In many cases, insurance can also be available to cover losses, but litigation is often necessary to realize the full benefit of coverage under a fidelity policy.
