About

I am a Director at Morgan Rose Solicitors, based on Chancery Lane and I head the Fraud, Crime and Corporate Investigations team at the firm. I defend in complex fraud cases, advising both individuals and corporates. Additionally, I defend in other high profile investigations where the need for sensitivity and pro-active thinking are essential. As a team we are often successful in negotiating alternative outcomes to prosecution for our clients. My recent caseload includes the LIBOR investigation, insider dealing, phone hacking, government contract fraud and tax fraud, as well as Trading Standards and Health & Safety investigations/prosecutions. A large proportion of my cases involve a significant international dimension.
