Business Crime
Our growing team of business crime specialists regularly advise on investigations and prosecutions brought by bodies such as:
- Serious Fraud Office
- Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform (formerly DTI)
- Medicines & Healthcare Regulatory Authority
- HM Revenue & Customs
- Crown Prosecution Service
With a reputation for robustly defending their clients’ interests and for leaving no stone unturned in the process, our business crime team have been instructed to act in some of the most high-profile prosecutions and investigations in the country and are highly-regarded for their pro-active and dogged approach. Their ability to focus on core issues and see all the angles means they are regularly instructed by individuals and corporate bodies alike.
Recent matters with which our team have been involved include an alleged price fixing cartel involving a number of multinational generic pharmaceutical companies, the illegal supply of pharmaceuticals and alleged clinical trial irregularities. The team also has extensive experience in those ancillary matters arising out of the investigation and prosecution process such as restraint and confiscation and mutual legal assistance requests.
