Notable Practitioners

Hamraj Kang
Hamraj Kang
Star Individuals

Managing partner Hamraj Kang is a pre-eminent figure in the market known for his work in complex criminal investigations involving tax evasion, pension fraud and money laundering. He also advises clients on alleged conspiracies to defraud.

Hamraj is very commercially astute, switched on to client needs and delves into the issues in a case that really matter. He is a brilliant strategist.

Hamraj is really calm and manages client expectations well. He's diligent and assiduous.

An excellent leader and the go-to solicitor for financial crime. If I had a fraud issue, Hamraj would be my first choice of representative.

Any client would instruct him because he's super personable and a strategic thinker. He's a real star.

Hamraj Kang is a leading light for financial crime. He is a class act and his client care is, in my view, unreal.
