Financial Crime - London (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
7BR's financial crime bench runs the full gamut of economic criminal offences. Sources highlight the members for their "excellent breadth of experience" and having "excellent grounding in the cross-practice issues." Its members routinely act for and against the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and the Financial Conduct Authority in complex investigations and prosecutions. They are experienced in handling various fraud, bribery and corruption, money laundering, insider trading and Deferred Prosecution Agreements, in addition to a growing specialism in matters relating to the theft of cryptocurrency. Adept at working on international mandates, 7BR regularly appears and advises on offshore and cross-border investigations. Recent work includes representing the ex-Money Laundering Reporting Officer of an International Trust and Corporate Service Provider in the Isle of Man’s first prosecution for failing to report suspicion of Terrorist Financing and Money Laundering.
Albie Barton, Harry Smith and James Crighton are the senior clerks.
