I have also assisted clients with complex cross-border contractual disputes involving breach of sanctions laws, have supported corporate internal investigations into fraud, money laundering and insider dealing, and represented sports law clients in appeals before disciplinary panels.
I advise corporations on the new Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 (ECCTA) which has expanded the scope of corporate criminal liability with the implementation of the new Failure to Prevent Fraud offence.
My work involves regularly liaising with authorities such as the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), National Crime Agency (NCA), Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
