Corporate Crime & Investigations

We help businesses and individuals navigate regulatory and criminal investigations, protecting your interests and guiding you through complex white-collar matters with confidence.

An accident at work or misjudged gift can trigger investigations by one of Scotland’s specialist regulators or criminal authorities.

Our team brings experience of advising in situations when something goes wrong in a business to best manage internal investigations and to protect client’s interests, while developing relationships with regulators and authorities.

We advise and act for individuals and companies operating in Scotland in relation to what is often termed 'white collar crime', for example: fraud cases, money laundering, bribery and corruption, proceeds of crime, health and safety, corporate manslaughter and environmental-related prosecutions.

We have represented clients in Fatal Accident Inquiries, in the making of self-reports to the Crown Office and civil settlement negotiations with the Civil Recovery Unit.
