I have extensive experience in Fraud matters, ranging from simple benefit fraud to complex fraud on businesses and which experience includes cases where the perpatrator of the fraud has submitted fraudulent invoices from seemingly bona fide Companies, examples where bogus accounts are used to syphon off legitmate funds and 'top-slicing' of invoices.
I also have experience representing those accused of fraud and have achieved much success with those clients by filleting out seemingly minor details which go on to become fractures in the prosecution case and which result in the collapse of trials.
My work
- In a recent case, I worked closely with a man accused of fraud and, with slow persistence, managed to unpick details of the alleged fraudulent transactions to show that the accused had all along intended to deposit the sums and balance of the disputed transactions into his Directors Loan Account at the Company's year end, which took away the rationale for the intention he was said to hold and which fundamentally undermined the prosecution case to the extent that they withdrew the case, offering no evidence.
- Conversely, in a case where I represented a large inductrial conglomerate, I worked closely with the finance team to uncover a long-term, sophisticated and systematic defrauding of the employer by a member of that team who had set up a supplier on the payment systems some years before which had systematically and repeatedly submitted low level invoices for non-existent services for which he had received the benefit, as he was the ultimate beneficiary of that Company, despite not appearing at Companies House on the register of Directors. His interest was via a nominee Company registered in Jersey. He was prosecuted and jailed.
What my clients say
"I obtained the details of Peter Waring through the mybarrister website. Peter provided to our company accurate counsel in support of a complex commercial legal matter. Presenting legal arguments to us in plain English in both a reliable and timely manner. He was supportive throughout the whole process including in preparation for and in attendance in court, where he compendiously presented and articulated the salient points of our claim, including an incisive cross examination of the other sides witness, which resulted in a full judgment in our favour. Knowledgeable, helpful and plain speaking."
"We were introduced to Mr Wareing in December 2015 via my direct barrister. We found Mr Wareing to be highly professional, extremely knowledgeable and his service to us as litigants in person highly valuable. A silent assassin in Court. Mr Wareing is easy to talk to and listens intently to his client. Mr Wareing has become a dear friend over the months and has always given us his
undivided attention in regard to our case, a gentleman at all times and we have been well looked after throughout the whole of the proceedings.
We would recommend Mr Wareing without hesitation and would like to thank him for his kindness and thoughtfulness that he has shown to us both." - Beverley and Michael Allen
"Mr Wareing is a most expert and knowledgeable barrister and an invaluable support regarding legal and procedural matters of the law. More importantly, he is kind and generous with both his time and expertise, a credit to his profession. I feel very fortunate that he was my counsel and have no hesitation in recommending him for any legal matters you may encounter."
"Ι first received contact from Peter Wareing after getting in touch with My Barrister.
After explaining my situation to Peter he was very clear on what the next steps needed to be and reassured me that we would sort this problem out.
Peter has been by my side for the last 4 years advising and representing me in court. Peter has always been clear and concise with his advice and nothing is too much trouble for him.
There have been many times where I’ve had a little wobble or thought of something random and Peter has always taken time out to either talk me through it or he would email me a detailed answer.
He never made me feel that I was wasting his time, no matter how random my thought or question was he would put it into context for me and put my mind at ease.
I can honestly say that after working with Peter for many years he is truly a remarkable individual and is brilliant at his job, I would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone.
I consider Peter to be a friend, he has seen me at rock bottom and watched me change my life for the better.
He has genuinely shown me kindness and support and I can see he is genuinely happy that I’m in a better place.
Without his support I doubt I would have had the strength to fight this case." - Jatinder Kalirai
