SFO Charges Five Axiom Ince Executives with Fraud, Forgery, and Destruction Over Collapse of Law Firm

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) has charged five former executives of Axiom Ince, including two partners and three senior executives, with fraud, forgery, and destruction of documents. This action comes in the wake of the law firm's collapse, which has prompted the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) to impose restrictions on another former employee. Additionally, the SRA has opened numerous investigations into volume litigation firms as part of a broader inquiry into the legal sector's practices.
