David’s practice has always been mainly criminal law based, but has become more specialist in terms of the regulatory type HM Revenue and Customs, Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform, Department for Works and Pensions etc. He has appeared for defendant companies in Operator Licensing and similar Traffic Commissioner type cases, and in relation to some “waste” matters. Whether prosecuting or defending such cases has required David to have an understanding of the business situations of the companies concerned, and of the individuals who should have been acting in particular ways.

David has throughout his career been on the Attorney-General’s list of specialist prosecuting advocates and in that regard has dealt with multi-million pound money laundering cases, significant tax/duty avoidance schemes and the like. His knowledge of such matters has been exploited by the Defence both in an advisory capacity and in contested hearings.

David is currently involved in a “ponzi” fraud case involving FSA regulations, and a multi-handed duty evasion matter involving diesel/petrol duty evasions amongst others.
