Described as ‘the pioneering firm to focus exclusively on private criminal prosecutions’, Edmonds Marshall McMahon can be distinguished as a firm of a boutique nature with a focus on private prosecutions, while still retaining a multidisciplinary model. Among its varied workload, which extends to criminal fraud prosecutions, are complex civil corruption prosecutions. The team hosts a deep bench of practitioners with particular areas of expertise, including fraud, an area in which the practice has adapted to represent victims, and advises both individuals and large corporations. Tamlyn Edmonds, Andrew Marshall and Kate McMahon oversee the department, and McMahon has a strong track record in financial investigations, while Edmonds and Marshall often represent high-net-worth individuals who have been defrauded, as well as a broad range of civil corruption and fraud cases.
