Our Criminal Litigation services
We frequently act in fraud and financial investigation trials, increasingly to assess Crown evidence which we have found may not support the allegations or quantum in the indictment, but which nevertheless requires our independent expert view for the Court. If this is not done, the evidence often remains unexamined, increasing the risk of injustice without further analysis.
We receive instructions from funded clients, but we also consider publicly funded cases, especially when alternatives may lack proper professional representation.
We can assist in the following criminal matters:
Our Criminal Litigation approach
We are regularly appointed in respect of criminal matters. Collectively, we have dealt with over 500 cases, including major SFO fraud cases, FCA matters and have an established and successful track record of testifying in fraud and other criminal cases. While we are often instructed for the defence, we also act for the Crown and are adept at undertaking financial investigations. We are particularly skilled on confiscation cases, where the Crown’s evidence can often be challenged by our experience and attention to detail.
