Proven Expertise in Business Litigation

At Martin Vermaak Attorneys, our combined expertise as business attorneys and litigation attorneys enables us to handle complex fraud cases and other serious legal issues with unparalleled skill.

Our commitment to justice and protecting our clients’ interests is exemplified in the following case studies:

Case Study 1: Employee Fraud in a Large Insurance Brokerage

A prominent insurance brokerage house relied on a long-standing employee, Lindi, to manage its new funeral insurance scheme. Lindi diverted funds into a separate account for personal gain despite her excellent track record.

The fraudulent activities went unnoticed until complaints from a security company led to an investigation. Martin Vermaak Attorneys conducted a thorough forensic investigation, uncovering Lindi’s deceit.

We successfully prosecuted her in the Commercial Crimes Court, securing a conviction and recovering a significant portion of the stolen funds.

Case Study 2: Accounts Manager’s Invoice Fraud

Another example of our expertise involved an Accounts Manager at an Insurance Brokerage who manipulated invoices to defraud the company.

Over several years, she funnelled payments into multiple personal accounts. A routine accounts query revealed anomalies, prompting an investigation.

Martin Vermaak Attorneys gathered extensive evidence, leading to the Accounts Manager pleading guilty to 16 counts of fraud.

She was convicted and ordered to repay hundreds of thousands of rands, highlighting how personal issues can lead to significant business risks.
