Mr Laurence Crees

Work Department

Dispute Resolution

Position

Associate

I am a commercial litigator with a specialism in civil fraud and other cases involving allegations of dishonesty or other serious wrongdoing. I also have experience of dealing with investigations by the Serious Fraud Office. My clients tend to be entrepreneurs, directors, financial institutions (including cryptocurrency exchanges) and insolvency practitioners.

I have recovered millions of pounds for my clients. I am particularly skilled at managing cases involving large amounts of data and presenting that evidence effectively when seeking or resisting interim relief (such as worldwide freezing orders or orders for disclosure) and at trial.
