Regulatory & Business Crime

 

We have extensive experience of advising individuals and corporate clients on regulatory crime and disciplinary matters, from both compliance and defence perspectives. We have acted in numerous large, high profile criminal cases. 

We offer specialised preparation for every step of a defendant’s case, which is crucial in the early stages of a case when the decision will be made by the authorities on whether to proceed with a prosecution. 

We also have considerable experience in conducting court proceedings when charges have been made.
