St Philips Chambers

Crime & Regulatory

Henry is an experienced barrister with expertise in confiscation and asset recovery, regulatory matters, local authority work, licensing and financial crime.

He has significant experience in high-value (£multi-million) cases involving intricate points of law and international elements – often including matters of sensitivity.

He is the joint editor of Millington and Sutherland Williams on the Proceeds of Crime – the leading text on confiscation – and he authors the chapters on enforcement and preliminary matters.

As well as being a successful defence counsel, Henry is on the list of specialist regulatory advocates (level B), and he is also a top-level grade 4 prosecutor in proceeds of crime / confiscation. In addition, he is a member of the SFO’s proceeds of crime and international assistance panel.

He regularly appears both solely and led in high-value cases and he has acted in cases involving foreign governments and international prosecuting authorities – often with sensitive case features and against King’s Counsel.

He undertakes a significant amount of work in the First-Tier Tribunal (in a variety of Chambers), the Upper Tribunal and on judicial review matters.

Henry also accepts taxation work (both direct and indirect), and quasi-criminal and private prosecution work both litigated and by providing focused advice on strategic and evidential issues.
