White-Collar Crime & Financial Fraud
Our crime specialists are able to advise businesses in the banking and financial, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, insurance, retail sectors and other bodies on all matters concerning corporate governance, directors’ liability, corporate criminal liability, tax avoidance and money laundering.
We are regularly instructed to both prosecute and defend in serious allegations involving money laundering. Expertise within Chambers ranges from multi-million Rupees Foreign Exchange Bureau cases through to 3rd party laundering of funds derived from other criminal conduct both in this jurisdiction and overseas. Our specialist barristers and advocates have developed a strong track record when dealing with the complex issues of law in this area and are able to provide focused advice and representation at every level.
In these cases, we specialize in the crossover between criminal, civil and regulatory liabilities and remedies/sanctions which have become such an important feature of modern-day business. As such members of Chambers possess the unique agility to advise and act in civil courts, criminal courts and/or regulatory and professional disciplinary proceedings as and when these cases require it.
Members of set are also instructed to actively guide and monitor the progress of any internal and external investigation, review, manage and draft any responses to investigation reports, and to draft and present a variety of reports to ensure the body and its representatives understand and discharge their duties properly.
Commercial crime also raises important issues of compensation, confiscation and directors’ disqualification. Regent Court Chambers has considerable expertise in these areas as well as suspicious activity reports (SARs), suspicious transaction reports (STRs), and in outward and inward requests for international mutual legal assistance (MLA) between different cities.
