Financial Crime

Legal 500: Ranked first tier for General Crime and Fraud (East Anglia).

We specialise in all aspects of financial crime including FCA investigations, bribery, money laundering, diversion frauds and complex and large-scale revenue frauds. Our full service capability extends to white collar investigations, dawn raid representation and training for corporate clients through to the defence of individuals in complex and large-scale fraud prosecutions. We also have notable experience and success in proceeds of crime cases (POCA).

Matthew Gowen has over 25 years’ experience of prosecuting and defending large-scale, complex and multi-handed fraud and monetary crime cases. His clients attest to his “sharp analysis and shrewd problem solving” [Mr L – acquitted of fraud following a Crown Court trial] and his advocacy is described as “redeeming and outstanding”.

Recent cases include:

  • Representing numerous individuals and companies facing prosecutions for fraud at the Crown Court.
  • Advising an international company on a bribery investigation.
  • R v Jeevarajah – reported Court of Appeal case concerning a lottery fraud.
  • Advising on a large scale FCA investigation into insider trading.

Open and friendly approach to what can be a very confusing area for most people. Happy to explain any terminology or processes fully and answer any questions from clients.
