Our Tier 1 ranked team handles serious criminal cases including fraud, money laundering, drug offences, and sexual allegations. We provide strategic representation from police station advice through to Crown Court trials, ensuring robust defence and protection of client rights. With expertise in both domestic and international cases, we prioritise early intervention to achieve dismissals or reduced sentences.
Financial Investigations
We defend clients against HMRC, SFO, and NCA investigations into tax evasion, VAT fraud, and proceeds of crime. Our specialists handle complex financial crime cases involving cryptocurrency, cross-border transactions, and multi-jurisdictional asset recovery. With a focus on mitigating reputational and financial damage, we secure favourable outcomes through negotiation or litigation.
Regulatory Compliance
Our team advises on compliance with health and safety, environmental, and trading standards regulations. We represent clients in prosecutions by the HSE, Environment Agency, and Trading Standards, offering proactive strategies to resolve investigations and prevent director disqualifications or business penalties.
Insolvency
We handle insolvency disputes, director disqualification proceedings, and claims against company directors. Our solicitors provide strategic defence in bankruptcy petitions, winding-up orders, and cross-border insolvency cases, balancing litigation with commercial resolutions to protect client interests.

Our IP specialists resolve disputes over trademarks, patents, and copyright infringement. We enforce and defend IP rights in the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court, negotiate co-existence agreements, and protect trade secrets through litigation or alternative dispute resolution, ensuring commercial value preservation.
