From the headline-grabbing multimillion-pound investigations of fraud and corruption, to the dreaded letter from the authorities advising that they are investigating an individual who has been navigating through a minefield of rules and compliance, but may have erred.
Our criminal litigation, investigations, and regulatory team covers a vast array of differing scenarios.
Whatever the circumstances which may have given rise to an investigation into financial affairs, we can help.
Whether an individual or a corporation, being the target of any investigation or prosecution can be a very stressful and daunting experience.
As an individual, the decisions made and steps taken in defence to an investigation or prosecution can have life-changing consequences. As an individual or corporation, being the subject of an investigation will often involve demands from multiple agencies collaborating across multiple jurisdictions.
In these complex circumstances it can feel like international bombardment from all angles and early decisions can have far-reaching consequences and a critical affect on the overall outcome.
Is therefore of paramount importance that a reassuring, experienced and expert advisor is appointed who has experience of the affect early decisions will have on the wider investigation and the wider investigative process. This will ensure that early decisions are made correctly and effectively, investigative steps are challenged appropriately, an effective strategy is put in place and, if necessary, the appropriate tone is adopted with all relevant agencies.
Our team comprises highly regarded and experienced white-collar crime and financial crime lawyers, who have experience as both leading defence lawyers and leading investigative lawyers at investigation and prosecuting agencies. We are able to view investigations and prosecutions and the accompanying decisions, from both a defence and multi-agency, investigatory and prosecution perspective.
