Ross Dixon

Ross Dixon specialises in financial, white collar criminal and regulatory defence.

He represents companies and individuals caught up in the most serious bribery and fraud related cases. Recent cases include acting for senior executives at Tesco and G4S who were acquitted in prosecutions brought by the SFO that followed deferred prosecution agreements signed by the companies.

Ross advises individuals in many recent and current SFO investigations, including those into Amec Foster Wheeler, Petrofac, Unaoil, Chemring Group and Airbus. Many of his cases involve investigations in both the UK and overseas.

He is an expert on money laundering and issues arising from the Proceeds of Crime Act. His regulatory practice focuses on advising those under scrutiny by the FRC, FCA and SRA.

Ross advises on dawn raids, production and restraint orders, the execution of warrants, and the regulatory and strategic obligations that may arise from the discovery of potential wrong doing within a company.

Ross regularly acts for professional people and their families caught up in police investigations. He appreciates the reputational damage being named in connection with criminal proceedings can cause and works carefully to minimise this.
