This firm is one of an elite band of London practices specialising in white-collar criminal defence. It is acting for the Republic of Mozambique on its $2 billion claim against various parties including Credit Suisse arising out of the “tuna bond” debt corruption scandal, as well as defending a related claim against the republic by two leading banks.

And it advised Boris Johnson over allegations that he misled parliament over Partygate events and appeared alongside the former prime minister in March during his questioning by MPs on the parliamentary privileges committee.

It also represents the Post Office in the scandal over 700 alleged wrongful prosecutions of subpostmasters in what is considered one the worst miscarriages of justice in British legal history.
