Financial Crime: Individuals

About

Provided by Bark&co

Bark&co is one of the UK’s most progressive and successful fraud and business crime firms. We handle wide-ranging white-collar cases including prosecutions and investigations brought by the SFO, the FCA, and HMRC.

We became a member of the Serious Fraud Panel at its inception and members of the team are accredited as supervisors of the most complex cases. We have helped clients in connection with many of the highest-profile prosecutions brought by the SFO and other agencies. Our recent record includes representing some 55 clients at Southwark Crown Court (over the past year, or awaiting trial) as well as acting in a succession of large-scale FCA investigations and prosecutions. Our expertise spans carousel, mortgage, investment, pension fund, telecoms and internet fraud as well as corruption, theft, fraudulent trading, tax and VAT fraud, and money laundering.

We have acted in prominent cases such as the Cheney Pension fraud; the high-profile Asil Nadir case; the US$1bn BAE Systems corruption claims; the Adoboli case; and Marrache & Co. We also acted for an individual in relation to the SFO’s investigation into Amec Foster Wheeler; acted for a defendant in the SFO prosecution following the Libor scandal; and represented key individuals in the SFO investigations into alleged corruption at Rolls-Royce. More recently we acted for Boris Becker in relation to criminal charges following his bankruptcy, and won a landmark victory in a privacy-related case in the Supreme Court.
