Notable practitioners
Clare Montgomery KC is highly regarded at the financial crime Bar. Montgomery represents clients in a range of matters, including sanctions, fraud and extradition-related cases.
I rate Clare as someone at the top of their game. She's a star in her field without question. She is an amazing advocate, but she's also very 'normal' and not at all difficult to work with: in spite of her status, she's still good to work with and superb with clients.
Clare is at the top of the tree, very good in terms of advocacy and is strategically very good in terms of working out a solution to a problem.
Alex Bailin KC acts for high net worth individuals on financial crime matters. Bailin's cases include high-profile extradition work, SFO investigations, international corruption and tax fraud.
Alex is really great to work with. One thing he's very good at is making sure he captures everyone's thoughts, makes sure everyone has an opportunity to discuss an issue. He's great with clients, very responsive and hard-working.
Alex is really client-friendly. He's also a very good tactician in terms of strategy.

Tim is very easy to work with and gives very good, straightforward advice.
Tim is a very good advocate and very well respected by the High Court. Definitely one to use in higher-profile cases.
