Fraud and Financial Crime Defence
If you’re facing allegations of fraud, financial misconduct or serious economic crime, the right defence strategy from the outset is critical to protecting your position, your career and your liberty.
Are you in the right place?
Individuals under investigation
Facing scrutiny from the police, the SFO, HMRC or other regulatory agencies over allegations of fraud or financial crime.
Professionals and directors
Whose career, professional standing and liberty are at risk from a serious fraud or regulatory investigation.
Companies facing allegations
Dealing with corporate fraud, financial crime and/or regulatory enforcement action affecting the business.
The allegations I defend:
Fraud and conspiracy to defraud
Bribery and corruption
Money laundering and proceeds of crime
Sanctions breaches
Tax fraud and evasion
Insider dealing and market abuse
What's at stake?
Liberty
A criminal conviction can result in a custodial sentence, with lasting consequences for you and those who depend on you.
Career
Professional disqualification, regulatory sanctions and loss of authorisation can end careers and close businesses.
Reputation
Allegations alone can cause lasting personal and commercial damage, affecting relationships, contracts and future opportunities.
