White Collar, Regulatory and Special Investigations

Our extensive experience in prosecuting and defending large scale, complex white collar, business and regulatory cases spanning both enforcement and administrative proceedings, gives us a unique and enhanced strategic perspective on any case. We have acted for government departments, regulatory bodies, corporate clients, professionals, individuals, and a variety of public and private organizations before a wide range of courts, tribunals, and constitutional panels. 

We have successfully acted in investigations and prosecutions brought by a wide range of agencies and regulators including tax, revenue and securities agencies; environmental, licensing, consumer protection, trademarks, healthcare, public health, food safety and health and safety regulators; anti-corruption and anti-fraud government bodies. Both our partners are highly regarded practitioners in this field and have achieved the distinction of being appointed by the Attorney General of the UK to elite panels of counsel to prosecute serious fraud and regulatory crime on behalf of the government, agencies and major national regulatory bodies, acting in some of the UK’s largest cases in this area. 

Our multidisciplinary background spanning public, regulatory, commercial, civil, and criminal law, allows us to approach each case with a broad perspective and sector-specific insight. This combination means we provide enhanced, strategic, and effective representation at every stage, ensuring our clients navigate these processes with confidence. 

This breadth of experience enables us to navigate laterally and strategically the novelties and nuances of specialist regulatory frameworks, address compliance challenges, and manage the intricacies of enforcement actions, allowing us to anticipate issues including the potential for other types of proceedings to emerge down the line, mitigate risks, and achieve the best possible outcomes for our clients. Our unrivalled experience of both sides of a high-stakes criminal, quasi-criminal, or regulatory criminal trials is leveraged to the advantage of our clients.
