White-Collar Crime
White Collar Crime Lawyers
At Edmonds Marshall McMahon, we investigate and prosecute a full range of offences under the criminal law. However, we also have particular expertise in so-called ‘white collar crimes’, including financial crime, fraud and corporate dishonesty.
Our three founding partners bring more than 870 years of combined experience as leading white collar crime lawyers. They work alongside a specialist investigations team made up of former senior detectives from the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Metropolitan Police. Together, they deliver unrivalled expertise in sophisticated financial wrongdoing, regulatory investigations and high-stakes enforcement matters.
Trusted in high-profile financial crime prosecutions
Our white collar crime solicitors, barristers and investigators have worked on many high-profile cases and are committed to gathering the strongest possible evidence to build robust cases. We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach and pride ourselves on our imaginative thinking and tailored methodology, which delivers exceptional results for our clients.
In recent years, we have acted in some of the UK’s most high-profile white collar crime cases. That includes landmark work on the prosecution of Innospec Ltd and the investigation of Rolls-Royce PLC, which resulted in a record-breaking Deferred Prosecution Agreement between the manufacturer and the Serious Fraud Office.
Our work in this area has also led to our instruction by foreign governments to assist in tackling corruption within the public sector. That has given us a wealth of experience in complex, multi-jurisdictional and anti-corruption prosecutions.
