Civil and Criminal Law

Our civil litigation practice covers contractual and commercial disputes, debt and money recovery, property and land disputes, family and matrimonial proceedings, employment-related claims, shareholder and partnership disputes, negligence claims and other private or commercial conflicts. We assist clients at every stage of the dispute-resolution process, including pre-action advice, settlement negotiations, mediation, preparation of court documents, interim applications, trials and appeals. Wherever appropriate, we seek commercially sensible settlements while remaining fully prepared to protect our clients’ interests through litigation.

In criminal matters, we advise and represent individuals, companies, directors and senior executives in connection with criminal investigations, prosecutions and regulatory enforcement proceedings. Our experience includes matters involving bribery and corruption, anti-money laundering, bank and financial fraud, economic offences, white-collar crime, breach of trust, misappropriation, forgery and other complex criminal allegations. We also advise on complaints and proceedings relating to sexual harassment, gender-based harassment and violence, including incidents arising within the workplace.

Our lawyers provide timely advice from the earliest stage of an investigation, including risk assessments, responses to regulatory or law-enforcement authorities, bail applications, trial preparation and representation before the courts. We also assist corporate clients in managing the legal, regulatory and reputational risks arising from alleged criminal conduct, internal misconduct and enforcement action.

Recognising the serious personal and commercial consequences of civil and criminal proceedings, Velox Lawyers handles every matter with discretion, diligence and strict confidentiality. Our objective is to provide clear and practical legal guidance, safeguard our clients’ rights and pursue the most effective outcome available under the law.
