David’s practice has been general crime based for both the prosecution and the defence, but has over recent years developed such that fraud, financial and corporate matters are becoming the norm.

Cases ranging from multi-million money laundering matters, solicitor frauds/thefts, international credit card/bank frauds, investment frauds (involving FSA details), e-bay internet matters to a variety of Governmental Department cases (RCPO, DWP, DBERR, etc) have all been dealt with in recent times.

David was fortunate to be led in a number of multi-handed, complicated tax/duty cases involving sums of up to £30 million, and as ever with such matters, he played an important part in condensing the materials to a manageable amount by scheduling and identifying the core documents. Having gained vital experience in such matters he now leads more junior colleagues in similar matters, conspiracies and international investment frauds etc.

Recent Cases:
Rv Lefrancq and Gills – nationwide wine sale scam conspiracy;
R v Pearson – an overseas pension scheme fraud;
R v Kelly and Others – a fuel laundering fraud;
R v Dowson - a company director disqualification and fraud case

As a consequence of the volume of financial cases handled, David has gained a considerable degree of expertise in confiscation and asset forfeiture matters. He has lectured and written materials on confiscation.
