WilmerHale

WilmerHale’s white collar defence and investigations group is a key player in the London market, known for acting in some of the most prominent and sensitive financial crime matters. The team is regularly instructed by high-profile and high net worth individuals involved in major white collar scandals under investigation by the SFO, NCA, HMRC and the police. The practice is led by Stephen Pollard, a highly regarded figure with over three decades of experience defending individuals in complex financial crime cases across both UK and international proceedings. Fellow co-head Richard Burger is noted for his work representing clients facing scrutiny from a wide range of domestic and overseas enforcement agencies. Deputy head Lloyd Firth brings particular strength in high-stakes investigations and prosecutions, and has recently acted in major trials brought by the SFO and NCA, earning recognition for his strategic and effective defence work.
