Edmonds Marshall McMahon is a firm which specialises in private prosecutions, but is also able to deal with cases related to organised crime in which public authorities are involved. With Tamlyn Edmonds, Andrew Marshall, and ‘excellent strategist’ Kate McMahon at the helm, the group has a deep bench of experts, each with individual strengths. McMahon has a strong track record in financial investigations, while Marshall is skilled when it comes to complex fraud cases, an area of expertise of the wider group, which includes Ashley Fairbrother. Another area in which the group excels is financial crime; Fani Gamon is involved in many of these matters. Jack Walsh is also a key name to note.
