At Lydian, the fraud and white-collar crime practice focuses on three core pillars: employee fraud, insurance fraud, and contractual fraud. The firm assists financial institutions, insurers, and companies from sectors such as tech and banking in internal investigations in addition to criminal and civil litigation. A trio of partners helms the team, consisting of insurance fraud specialist Hugo Keulers, Jan Hofkens, who is regularly sought out by clients for his expertise in employee fraud and Yves Lenders, whose practice encompasses criminal liability of directors as well as contractual fraud.
