counter fraudOur approach -
Detect. Defend. Deter.
At Horsley Law, we provide a strategic, intelligence-led counter-fraud capability designed for sophisticated businesses and corporations operating in risk environments. We act across the full spectrum of corporate, insurance, and commercial fraud, protecting organisations from financial loss, operational disruption, and reputational damage.
Our approach integrates legal expertise with advanced analytics, forensic investigation, and proactive risk intelligence. We do not merely respond to fraud once it has occurred — we identify vulnerabilities, implement preventative frameworks, and pursue decisive recovery and enforcement action where required. Our methods are structured to detect emerging threats early, defend robustly against fraudulent claims or internal misconduct, and deter future wrongdoing through strategic litigation and enforcement.
We advise boards, insurers, multinational corporates, and high-growth enterprises. Our work includes complex fraud investigations, civil recovery proceedings, injunctive relief (including freezing orders and search orders), director and shareholder disputes involving dishonesty, insurance fraud defence, procurement fraud, and multi-jurisdictional asset tracing.
The practice is led by Adrian Le Monnier, one of the UK’s leading counter-fraud lawyers. With over 15 years’ experience building and leading one of the country’s most advanced counter-fraud teams, Adrian brings a rare combination of courtroom authority, tactical litigation strategy, and operational intelligence expertise. His experience in high-stakes, high-profile matters shapes a practice built on precision, control, and measurable results.
For organisations where fraud risk is a material commercial threat, we provide not only legal representation but strategic protection — safeguarding assets, reputation, and long-term value.
counter fraudDetection
Our intelligence team uses the latest in AI, Natural Language Processing, and data science to analyse structured and unstructured data. These capabilities enable us to identify patterns, connections, and risks that others may miss — and to act quickly to neutralise threats. By doing so, we generate high-quality intelligence on individuals, organisations, and wider fraud networks.
