Many business have had to change their procedures in the face of COVID-19 restrictions. In some cases, the changes have exposed weaknesses in financial controls. Fraudsters are always looking to exploit any weaknesses they can find. Billington Barristers have extensive experience in remedies to fight fraud. We were recently counsel to the Receiver in the largest Ponzi Scheme in Alberta, Base Mortgage, where we recovered assets on behalf of victims, investigated the principals of the business and cooperated with the Alberta Securities Commission. Our experience also involves taking rapid action against Controllers, Directors or partners who misappropriate funds or corporate opportunities. We work extensively with the most experienced computer forensic accountants in the country. If you believe that your organization has been victimized in a fraud, contact Richard Billington, Q.C. to discuss your options.

Billington Barristers represents individual and corporate clients whether they are a plaintiff or a defendant in a dispute. Our lawyers often act on referrals from other law firms where there is a conflict of interest, a complex litigation matter, or as a court-appointed Independent Supervising Solicitor in specializing injunction matters.
