With great experience working across jurisdictions on all areas of corporate and financial crime, we regularly advise on issues such as fraud, bribery and corruption, economic sanctions and money laundering.
Our partner-led ethos has seen us act successfully in many of the country's highest profile cases – including taking instructions from governments, high net-worth individuals, and senior executives to defend international criminal allegations.
We regularly act in investigations / trials opposite the Crown Prosecution Service, the Serious Fraud Office, the Financial Conduct Authority, and His Majesty's Revenue and Customs - and have experience before numerous other investigatory authorities from around the globe.
They all have years of experience in this area and have been in all the best cases over the years.
