Financial Crime

We regularly advise corporates (and their boards and directors), government agencies and high-net-worth individuals on all areas of financial crime.

We have advised on some of the largest ever investigations in recent times and, working throughout the UK and internationally, we specialise in responding to complex and business-critical investigations by the SFO, the FCA, HMRC, the CMA, the Insolvency Service and the police.

We support you in navigating the challenging and often unfamiliar landscape, always protecting your interests and striving to resolve matters effectively and efficiently.

We also help you to assess your risk exposure and implement preventative measures and robust compliance systems, particularly in relation to bribery, fraud, money laundering and tax evasion – an essential defence to the increasing number of ‘failure to prevent’ offences.
