Position
A leading and highly experienced criminal defence silk, who has appeared principally as an advocate but also in an advisory capacity in many of the famous high-profile cases over the last decade and more. He has exclusively defended since taking silk. His back catalogue is impressive and second to none. Barlow Clowes, BCCI, Richmond Oil and Gas, Maxwell, Brody and others (one of the first major dot com frauds) and Selby and others (one of the largest pension frauds which resulted in questions in parliament and a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry). He has appeared over the years in many of the largest VAT and Customs and Excise Duty Evasion prosecutions, from Hare wine, the first major prosecution of its type, to Operation Inertia. He has also appeared in a number of substantial money laundering cases for example and more recently he represented Terry Adams, a defendant in one of the largest money laundering cases to date, alleged by the prosecution to have been head of the biggest and most prolific crime family this country has ever seen. He often appears in cases prosecuted by the SFO and regularly appears in cases with a substantial international element.
