Financial Crime - London (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
QEB Hollis Whiteman retains its reputation as a leading chambers in the financial crime market, housing an impressive bench of leading silks and juniors experienced in both the prosecution and defence of complex and high-value cases. Members are regularly called upon to represent their clients in investigations into allegations of bribery, corruption and fraud, and are noted for their expert handling of cases involving international elements. Private prosecutions continue to be a key area of strength for the team. The members are described by professional clients as "the go-to set for all financial crime matters," who "provide advice which not only reflects the current legal position but is extremely commercial and anticipate the impact of recent judgments." Recent instructions undertaken by the set's barristers include acting for Glencore's ex-head of oil in SFO prosecution for conspiracy to bribe officials in West Africa to secure favourable deals.
