Livingstone Brown handles a range of complex criminal trials and investigation work that includes sexual abuse, wrongful arrest, fraud, human trafficking and personal injury claims.

Helming the practice is Stuart Munro, who is noted for his work in white-collar crime matters, regularly engaging with professionals in the legal, finance and accounting sectors. Sarah Munro has been a significant supporting presence across a range of cases and has established strength in pre-litigation work. The highly experienced Gerard Brown now operates as a consultant within the practice.
