  • Investigating a Solicitor who was an Attorney for a client. The investigations revealed the solicitor had financially abused the client by using the funds in her bank account, entering a declaration of trust to place an inherited property into his name and raising invoices for meetings which did not occur. The financial abuse was in the region of £1 million. The result was that the solicitor was struck off by the SRA.
  • Assisting with an ongoing Litigation Claim for a child with cerebral palsy. Cansu had to budget the interim payments to ensure that they were enough until such time where the claim was settled.
