The firm has been involved in a number of high profile cases including the Robinsons legal aid fraud and the Jubilee Line Extension corruption case.

We represented one of the 29 defendants in a large scale fraud on the legal aid fund by a firm of solicitors called Robinsons who were allegedly making fraudulent claims on the legal aid fund for payment in cases where work had not been undertaken. Our client was acquitted after a trial lasting 13 months.

We acted for a solicitor defendant in a follow on trial to the main Jubilee Line extension corruption case, the case against whom was dropped prior to trial.

We have acted in numerous money laundering offences and VAT “missing trader” frauds involving millions of pounds.

We are a member of the Serious Fraud Panel which means that we are accredited by the Legal Services Commission to undertake publicly funded work in cases of serious fraud. This panel will cease to operate once the LSC set up a VHCC (Very High Costs Case) panel in January 2008.

Richard Locke, a serious fraud supervisor, has been involved in other major fraud cases both at this firm and previously with Simons Muirhead & Burton including Blue Arrow, Plasser and BCCI.
