Fraud and corporate crime cases often involve large volumes of financial records and regulators such as ASIC or the ATO alongside police. Lawyers manage investigations, compulsory examinations, and defended hearings.
Why fraud & white collar crime matters
Fraud and corporate charges often involve regulators and police together, and early missteps in interviews can be costly.
The Australian context
Regulators such as ASIC, the ATO and the ACCC have compulsory investigation powers. Serious Commonwealth matters are prosecuted by the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions.

Identify the investigating body, alleged transactions and whether you are enquiring personally or for a business. Records and conflicts between individuals and entities need careful handling.
Ask about preserving records and coordinating any regulatory, employment or civil issues with the criminal advice.
How the engagement may progress
01
Send the charge, summons, bail paperwork and hearing dates through the method requested by the lawyer. Identify whether you are enquiring for yourself or someone else.
02
Ask what evidence is available and what must be obtained. Decisions about a plea or statement should follow advice on your own circumstances.
03
Confirm who will attend the next event, where to meet and what preparation is included. Ask how changes in the case would affect the estimate.
Fees and the scope of work
One mention, a contested hearing and an appeal are different scopes of work. Ask about preparation, barrister fees and additional appearances.
Ask for a written scope identifying the work you are authorising, the person responsible and when costs will be reviewed. If you only want advice on one step, say so before the firm begins wider work.
Dates to raise at first contact
Make hearing dates and bail conditions clear at first contact. If the firm cannot assist in time, ask about an available practitioner or the relevant legal-aid service.
Questions to ask a fraud & white collar crime adviser
Who is the client in this investigation?
How will document review and responses be organised?
Can you act before the next interview or hearing?
Who will appear and is that included in the quote?
What should I do if police contact me again?
Directory guidance updated 19 September 2026. General information to help you prepare for a conversation with a professional; not advice about your individual matter. Check current requirements with the relevant authority.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
What if a regulator wants to interview me?
Get advice before attending. Compulsory examination powers differ from police interviews and have their own rules.
Should I plead guilty?
Get advice first. A lawyer can check whether the police followed proper procedure, whether a defence is available, and whether the charges can be reduced or withdrawn before you enter any plea.
Can I keep my licence after a drink driving charge?
It depends on the reading, your record and your state's laws. In some cases a lawyer can argue for a reduced disqualification period or a work licence where one is available.
