An expert in international financial wrongdoing, nominated as Corporate Crime KC of the Year 2022, Amanda practices in many high-profile cases in corporate crime, fraud, corruption and money laundering, often with an international dimension or raising complex cross-border issues. Amanda’s expertise is sought by multi-national organisations and government agencies, small corporates, company officers and individual private clients, including government Ministers. She leads private prosecutions and acts as an expert witness. She works successfully with overseas lawyers on multi-jurisdictional investigations and corporate arrangements. Amanda is instructed in applications for restraint, warrant and production orders, and civil forfeiture. She advises on the interface of civil, criminal and regulatory contexts, from straightforward bribery to complicated financial instruments, takeover challenges, investment schemes and AML compliance in international structures. As Chair of the Bar in 2020, she is very familiar with negotiating with government Ministers, officials and judges at the highest levels. In 2021, Amanda was appointed to the P.R.I.M.E. Finance expert panel as an expert in complex financial instruments, particularly in fraud.
