Position

• Crime

• Professional discipline

• Regulatory (both criminal enforcement and licensing)

He specialises in cases which combine factual complexity with technical difficulty, usually where the core issues involve substantial disputed witness evidence. He has extensive experience in handling the most highly charged cases (such as those concerning deaths, allegations of abuse and of professional malfeasance) with calm determination and careful forensic thinking.  His oral and written advocacy is effective across the range of courts, tribunals, panels, committees and inquiries.

Edmund’s advisory work spans pre-charge advice on behalf of regulators (advising as to investigation and drafting charges) to assisting corporates and individuals subject to investigation.
