This area covers defending individuals and organisations facing investigations and prosecutions for business‑related offences such as fraud, bribery, sanctions breaches, money laundering and corporate crime. A solicitor represents the client in police interviews, handles disclosure and evidence, negotiates with the Crown Prosecution Service or the Serious Fraud Office, drafts defences and applications, and represents the client at court and in appeals, all with attention to corporate remedies, regulatory risk, and the consequences for the business. The work is shaped by complex financial evidence, regulatory scrutiny, and the potential for serious penalties.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
Solicitors oversee disclosure disclosures, prepare and present defences, negotiate guilty plea or case management options, coordinate with the SFO, FCA, HMRC, or local police, and represent clients at magistrates’ or crown courts, and on appeals. They also advise on asset preservation, corporate liability, and reputational risk, with attention to regulatory investigations and potential cross‑jurisdictional issues.
