2 Bedford Row ‘has great strength in depth for fraud work‘. Jim Sturman QC is universally acclaimed as a ‘really exceptional silk‘. William Clegg QC is also ‘highly regarded‘. Peter Lodder QC acted in one of the largest SFO prosecutions in R v Generics UK, the pharmaceuticals fraud. Clients say he ‘presents complex facts attractively to a jury and argues complex legal points before a judge with equal verve‘. ‘Undoubted top junior‘ Alison Pople appeared in R v Goldshield Group. Stephen Ferguson joined the set from 2 Hare Court, while Timothy Kendal is ‘superb for confiscation cases‘.
Specialist set Cloth Fair Chambers is a ‘great repository of talent‘. Nicholas Purnell QC is ‘thoroughly impressive, utterly first-class in everything‘ while Ian Winter QC is commended as a ‘great tactician‘. Jonathan Barnard joined the set as its first junior.
‘Top crime and fraud set‘ QEB Hollis Whiteman has a host of strong practitioners. Anthony Glass QC is a ‘very charming advocate‘ - in 2008 he defended Ping Sheun Mak, charged with conspiracy to defraud the Bank of England of £250m. ‘Eminent criminal silk‘ William Boyce QC also has a thriving fraud practice - he was instructed on R v Calvert, an alleged insider-dealing case for the FSA. Adrian Darbishire and Selva Ramasamy are ‘two of the foremost juniors for fraud‘.
Alex Cameron QC of Three Raymond Buildings is a ‘highly regarded leader‘, ‘well placed for civil/criminal crossover‘, and was engaged in the Pharmaceuticals case. Patrick Gibbs QC defended the finance director in the SFO prosecution of the Imperial Consolidated Group. The ‘extraordinarily able and impressive‘ Neil Saunders defended Jay Patel against charges of a worldwide conspiracy to defraud banks on over $600m. Jonathan Ashley-Norman is ‘a first rate junior‘ for fraud.
2 Hare Court is commended for ‘excellent clerking, which helps especially on complex and labour-intensive fraud cases‘. Andrew Radcliffe QC led for one of the defendants in Kent Pharmaceuticals, while ‘impressive defence advocate‘ James Pickup QC was engaged in novel confiscation case R v Bagnall. Craig Ferguson is a ‘great practitioner, very calm and measured‘.
Clare Montgomery QC at Matrix Chambers is ‘one of the most outstanding advocates at the Bar‘, and is ‘first choice where difficult areas of law intersect‘. Tim Owen QC is ‘awesome, and excels at appellate cases‘, leading fellow asset recovery specialist Andrew Bodnar in the House of Lords in R v Green, R v May, and Jennings v CPS, linked cases on the calculation of benefit in confiscation cases.
Gareth Rees QC of 7 Bedford Row is ‘expert at fraud cases‘, and Richard Latham QC has ‘a great way of making complex facts into a simple argument‘. Rupert Mayo is also ‘highly recommended‘.
25 Bedford Row is ‘well-respected for its fraud expertise‘. George Carter-Stephenson QC is ‘very hard-working, with a very attractive style of advocacy that persuades juries.‘ The set handled some of the largest MTIC cases of 2008, including Operation Euripus and Operation Campaign. ‘Impressive advocate‘ Rudi Fortson was engaged on R v Rastogi, an SFO prosecution of an alleged international fraud causing $530m losses - confiscation proceedings are ongoing.
Mukul Chawla QC at 9-12 Bell Yard is praised as ‘a really class act‘, while Alexandra Healy is ‘one of the best fraud juniors around‘.
23 Essex Street offers Jonathan Fisher QC, who defended RCPO v Castillo, a £250m VAT carousel fraud. Charles Miskin QC led for the SFO in the successful restraint hearing against billionaire businessman Fouad al-Zayat.
9 Gough Square houses ‘smart and effective advocate‘ Andrew Baillie QC, who led Fred Ferguson for the first defendant in the Vintage Wines fraud. Philip Henry is recommended particularly as ‘a formidable prosecutor‘. Tom Little is recommended for his cross-examination skills.
Jonathan Caplan QC of 5 Paper Buildings is ‘a silver-tongued advocate, and one of the best minds at the criminal Bar‘. He led ‘efficient and hard-working‘ Anuja Dhir in Krestin, involving a solicitor charged with money-laundering the proceeds of an MTIC fraud. Dhir ‘really fights her corner, but remains charming to the judge and jury‘.
18 Red Lion Court is considered to be ‘really good for fraud silks‘, with Antony Shaw QC defending a company director accused in a £25m NHS pharmaceutical cartel fraud. In 2008, ‘class act‘ David Etherington QC defended a pharmaceutical cartel case as well as a wine fraud.
In 2008, Andrew Mitchell QC and Kennedy Talbot moved from Furnival Chambers to establish 33 Chancery Lane, a dedicated white-collar crime set. Mitchell appeared before the Law Lords in 2008, in Jennings (on the calculation of benefits in confiscation matters).
Roy Amlot QC of 6 King’s Bench Walk is ‘a great silk for fraud work‘, with Duncan Penny also recommended.
