Our corporate crime experts provides tailored advice to companies and organisations on managing corporate crime risk, navigating both regulatory and criminal investigations, prosecutions, and disputes. We advise companies on a range of criminal matters regardless of their involvement, whether as victims of crime, whether someone in the company is suspected of committing a crime, or whether the company is involved other ways. Very often this will require immediate advice on crisis management and will also necessitate an internal investigation possibly prior to making a self-referral to the authorities.

Our lawyers have substantial practical experience, having worked as prosecutors and defence lawyers, giving our clients the benefit of a unique perspective in assessing risks, addressing issues and navigating the challenges they face.
