Our lawyers have acquired a formidable reputation in this area having been involved in many of the leading cases of the past few years. Our experience covers the entire spectrum of financial crime from tax evasion, money laundering and corruption to market manipulation and price fixing.

These cases are usually highly complex, often with an international dimension, involving the mastery and careful management of enormous quantities of documents.

We have developed considerable expertise in dealing with investigations and subsequent prosecutions by the Serious Fraud Office, HM Revenue & Customs, the Financial Services Authority and the Department of Trade and Industry and use our detailed knowledge of these organisations to inform our bespoke approach to cases.

In addition, we are able to draw on some of the countries leading QCs, top accountancy firms and expert witnesses to complement our dynamic defence team. In terms of reputation, however, we prefer to let others speak for us. Lesley Burrows has recently been lauded as “virtually unchallenged”, “exceptionally cerebral” and “committed to her clients” while in 2008 she was described as: “One of the most experienced serious fraud defence lawyers in the UK” Chambers UK - A Client’s Guide to the UK Legal Profession, 2008
