I have represented witnesses and suspects, individuals, and corporates, in some of the most high-profile commercial crime investigations and prosecutions of the past decade, including those in relation to Alstom, Rolls Royce, Rio Tinto, and ENRC.
I have conducted cross-border internal investigations across the globe and advised multinational companies on their commercial crime and associated compliance procedures. I have acted as an expert witness in relation to commercial criminal law.
My experience includes working with clients across diverse sectors including energy and extractives, financial services, food and drink, transport, logistics, and sport.
I was appointed as criminal Recorder (part-time Crown Court judge) in October 2020.
A keen sportsman, I am a veteran of five consecutive Lawyers’ Cricket World Cups, in which I led the Bar of England and Wales as captain.
What others say…
Quinton... is a master of quiet, thoughtful tactical thinking, with a tone and style always suited to the moment. He is an intellectual powerhouse with a long-term strategic mindset, rather like a grand chess master...a calming influence in emotionally charged board-level situations.
Quinton is a class act. He is shrewd, astute, clever and diplomatic. He is very professional and clear in his communication. Quinton had a tone of calmness and empathy, but also kept our discussions very objective. He kept to his word.
Quinton Newcomb is an experienced corporate crime barrister who is technically very gifted and has an excellent client manner. Unflappable and unfailing courteous under pressure.
