RPC launches interactive Dawn Raid app with live 24/7 assistance

Published on 18 April 2023

RPC Raid Response is a one-stop toolkit which enables you to navigate a raid by a regulator in real time

International law firm RPC has today announced the launch of an interactive app that offers users round-the-clock advice and assistance from experienced legal experts in the event of a dawn raid by a regulator or law enforcement agency, such as HMRC, the NCA, the FCA or the SFO.

Unlike current offerings, RPC Raid Response goes beyond simply providing a checklist and helpline, with a one-stop, free toolkit providing advice and guidance, supported by 24/7 access to experienced lawyers via the push of a button.

The innovative app provides any UK-based individual or business experiencing a dawn raid with instant, step-by-step guidance, an evidential log of events and 24/7 access to experienced lawyers who specialise in this area. 

RPC Raid Response also enables decision makers to communicate effectively with their wider team. 

Adam Craggs, head of the RPC Tax, Financial Crime and Regulatory team, said: "A dawn raid is one of the most stressful events a person can experience. 

"This is because getting it wrong can have such serious repercussions, including significant financial and reputational damage or even prison time. 

"We have therefore developed a truly market-leading dawn raid response toolkit to assist those unfortunate enough to find themselves the subject of a raid."

Senior Associate Alice Kemp added: "The design of this unique toolkit is based on our years of experience attending dawn raids and working with a broad range of clients. 

"It has been designed to anticipate the needs of both individuals and businesses in a dawn raid and provides easy to follow steps to ensure the greatest possible legal protection with the least stress."

The free app is now available to download from Apple Store and Google Play.
