About

I am regularly instructed by national and international corporates, together with ultra high net worth individuals in a variety of complex white collar crime matters.

Instructions will vary from defending clients who are subject to criminal investigations from the likes of the SFO, CPS and HMRC, to undertaking internal investigations following a whistleblower complaint.

Where commercially viable, I will also act for clients in a select number of general criminal instructions.

Although the majority of my work is UK-focused, I am regularly instructed by clients based in the GCC, where my fluency in Arabic plays a crucial part.
