Career

Called: 1983

Silk: 2001

Mukul is a recognised leader in the most complex financial litigation of a criminal or regulatory nature and in general crime, particularly in homicide cases. Chambers & Partners named him Crime Silk of the Year 2015.

These cases include the most serious allegations of fraud, corruption, market abuse and insider dealing. He advises companies and individuals on a wide range of criminal and regulatory matters including Financial Services, compliance with the Bribery Act 2010 and AML legislation/regulation, internal investigations and export and trade control issues.

He has successfully conducted numerous murder trials in recent years.

He has also acted in International Arbitration proceedings conducted in the LCIA for a global oil services provider where corruption by an agent formed the basis for successfully defending a multi-million dollar claim.

An advocacy trainer for over 25 years, he also provides Witness Familiarisation training for witnesses involved in civil trials and regulatory hearings.

From October 2018 to January 2022, Mukul was a Partner and Head of the White Collar Group for EMEA in the London office of International law firm, Bryan Cave Leighton Paisner LLP. During that time, he advised companies and individuals in all areas of financial crime compliance, conducted investigations for companies around the world and represented companies and individuals in investigations conducted by the FCA, HMRC, Companies House and the Police. Since his resignation as a Partner, he retains a Consultancy position at BCLP.
