Defence & Investigations
We advise our clients on the full range of criminal and contentious regulatory matters in addition to internal compliance and other investigations.
Our lawyers have acted on complex, high-profile matters for both corporate entities and individuals. The advice is partner-led and tailored to the specific needs of our clients.
We advise clients on complex and high-profile criminal and regulatory investigations and prosecutions as well as conducting internal investigations for corporate and financial services clients. We regularly advise clients on domestic and international investigations, often in parallel with our long-established connections with leading international law firms.
Our solicitors have experience conducting internal investigations for corporates concerning whistleblowing or alleged wrongdoing, as well as representing employees in internal and FCA directed investigations and interviews. We regularly advise clients (both institutions and individuals) on allegations of anti-money laundering, insider dealing, market abuse, bribery and corruption, tax fraud, corporate manslaughter, government contract fraud and modern slavery. We also advise victims of crime as well as acting in private prosecutions to obtain justice for our clients.
We are discreet and sensitive in our approach, uniquely equipped to strategically manage your situation and defend your position. We work closely with other practices within the firm to achieve the best outcome as we recognise that there can be many overlapping considerations. The depth and range of expertise we can offer as a firm, ensures our client’s position is protected at all times.
