Business and financial crime lawyers

Businesses are coming under increased pressures in a world which is now highly regulated and commercially challenging. Ensuring that companies and those who run them keep within the law can be difficult and complex.

This multidisciplinary team is able to deal with complex issues spanning criminal, civil and regulatory issues across many jurisdictions in a flexible, efficient and cost-effective and sensitive way.

We understand what your end goal is and are committed to helping you achieve it.

We get results through our experience of all aspects of corporate crime and compliance issues, from preventative advice and through internal investigations to defending businesses and individuals in criminal investigations.

We act for clients across all sectors in criminal investigations and prosecutions brought by enforcement and prosecution authorities including the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), the police and Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).

Our areas of expertise include acting for both businesses and individuals on matters involving issues such as fraud and corporate crime, bribery and corruption, money laundering, and data protection breaches. The team is currently engaged in representing businesses and individuals in a number of corruption and fraud investigations across various sectors.

We also provide preventative compliance advice to businesses which helps limit the risk and exposure to criminal and regulatory sanctions. We offer training and e-learning packages that augment that service.
