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. While often representing a range of private, high-net-worth professionals, the firm regularly acts for public sector employees against state institutions in high-profile cases, emphasised by its work in relation to the Post Office Horizon IT Scandal. 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.
