About us

Tenet is a niche law firm which provides advice on financial crime compliance, fraud investigations and recovery of losses due to fraud. We believe education is pivotal in the fight against fraud. It is important for us as a firm to offer knowledge, best practice and information to help reduce the risk of fraud , not just for our clients but for everyone. Following our page will give you a greater understanding of the various types of fraud and how to identify and minimise the risks. We will share our knowledge to help protect against possible threats and provide advice on investigating and responding to fraud. Fraud is wrong and the impact goes well beyond financial losses. We know fraud is personal. It can be dishonesty of a colleague, a business partner, a trusted adviser or it is simply how it impacts upon you where you feel like you can be to blame if tricked into losing your personal money by fraudsters. We post about who we are, the work we do and more importantly why we do it. We promise not to use technical jargon or over complicate things …we keep it simple. If we had an impossible ambition, it would be to stop fraud. Its impact is wide ranging and that is why we focus solely on this area of law. Our strengths lie in the way we operate, with no financial, chargeable hours or cash collection targets for our lawyers. Our team have all had at least four years of experience in a national or international law firm. They are encouraged to focus on the client, delivering high-quality services, from the locations, and within the hours, that suit them.

    Specialist fraud disputes & financial crime compliance lawyer | Conference speaker on all things fraud | Founder of award winning law firm Tenet | Trustee Director Fraud Advisory Panel

    How do the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) interpret "gross negligence" i.e., the consumer standard of caution when deciding whether to direct a refund by a customer's own banks after the customer has been a victim of APP fraud? For example, sending the fraudster your OTP code, would that be "gross negligence"? If the FOS finds there has been "gross negligence" whether now or after the new mandatory reimbursement rules kick in from 7 October, this is a ground to deny refunding an APP victim. Some light reading and learning for you below: 👉 In the link below is our article about what is "gross negligence" according to FOS with a link in the article to about 10 pages of cases showing what is and what is not "gross negligence" in the eyes of the FOS. Thank you to Rebecca Craig of Tenet for her hard work in producing the research and to the team at FINTRAIL for contributing to the article. 👉 In the comments below is a link to register for our (Tenet's) podcast style webinar on 10 September at midday where I am joined by Steve Goddard, SME at Featurespace looking at fraud risks for the banking sector and wider and chatting about challenges facing legal and compliance teams dealing with fraud and financial crime. In the webinar I will pick up on the research in the article below. If you are a PSP firm needing support navigating dealing with disputes and investigations into customer account fraud issues, it would be great to see you at the webinar or feel free to get in touch!

    Introducing our speakers for the 2024 Fraud NOT on the Agenda - Housing Sector Fraud Risk Conference James Tickell founding partner of Campbell Tickell will join us on stage at Mazars in Birmingham on Thursday, 17 October 2024. James will delve into the topic "The Psychology of the Fraudster in the Housing Sector" James is experienced in carrying out a wide range of assignments throughout the UK and Ireland, primarily for not-for-profit organisations and government agencies. His assignments have focused on governance, mergers, performance improvement, strategy, and, most recently, organisational culture. He has been involved in several high-profile cases, assisting clients through challenging or unexpected events. This work has included conducting confidential inquiries into issues such as alleged corruption, fraud, and bullying. Additionally, he has served in senior roles within major care, charity and housing organisations during periods of significant difficulty. This one-day event will put housing sector fraud risk in the spotlight for the first time. In a sector where the conversation around fraud risk often falls short, we're breaking new ground. It's time to face the facts: ignoring fraud leaves housing associations and their communities vulnerable. We invite Board and ARC members, as well as those in finance and governance roles committed to quality governance and risk management in the housing sector.

    Some great advice being shared through Tenet’s collaboration with the University of Birmingham Law Students! The Pro Bono Group won the 2023 Tackling Economic Crime Award - Outstanding Partnership award for its series of public information films.

    Excited to share my recent experience volunteering with Tenet through the CEPLER Pro Bono Group. The project involved creating a short, animated and informational video on the dangers of Romance Fraud, a fast-growing type of financial fraud. It was truly rewarding to contribute to their mission of fighting financial fraud by raising awareness on how to spot the red flags.
