Collas Crill assists clients facing a wide variety of regulatory challenges, from competition matters to money laundering and construction matters, among others. The team is headed by Nuno Santos-Costa, who the Attorney General regularly relies on for the prosecution of fraud and money laundering cases, and was augmented in October 2024 by the return of Fiona Wilson, who ‘offers clear and practical advice’ on AML/CFT matters and data protection regulations. Lynne Calder handles a mix of contentious and advisory regulatory matters, advising on sanctions, planning and building regulations and representing clients in the face of enforcement proceedings.
