Mr Manoj Rupasinghe
Position
Manoj is the Managing partner of Lloyds PR Solicitors.
Career
Manoj is the managing partner of Lloyds PR Solicitors and has strategic oversight of the firm’s proceedings at all levels. He was described in the Legal 500 as having a “first class legal brain”.
Manoj’s background is in serious crime, having practised in Criminal Defence at the independent bar from a well-known Chambers in the Temple. He was called to the bar in 2001 and then moved to Lloyds PR Solicitors in May 2009, before becoming partner the following year. While at the Bar, his cases clarified the law on the admissibility of social media evidence and the extent to which a student can change their course while on a student visa.
Manoj specializes in large, multi-faceted proceedings, particularly allegations of complex fraud, and has acted in high profile cases investigated and prosecuted domestically by the National Crime Agency, Serious Fraud Office, HM Revenue and Customs, the Financial Conduct Authority as well as international agencies including Interpol, the FBI and the US Secret Services. He is well versed in anti-money laundering regulations and policies.
In recent cases, Manoj applies his tenacious forensic approach to regulatory investigations and proceedings, including high-profile sports disciplinary matters.
Manoj has also advised the BBC in respect of the various stages of the criminal justice system and in particular, the admissibility of evidence.
