My Experience in Defending Diplomats
In 2015, I acted on behalf of a Gambian diplomat who was accused of acting in conspiracy with others to evade millions of pounds of excise duty. In this case, the diplomat and the others involved were accused of abusing their diplomatic quotas for tobacco and alcohol for profit and evading excise duty. The case concerned issues of diplomatic immunity - an area that few barristers have experience in dealing with.
I have a specialist understanding in dealing with regulatory bodies such as HMRC and can assist you with any investigations or charges brought against you.
Protecting Your Liberty
As a diplomat, you have a significant amount of privilege, but also responsibility. You may be subject to additional scrutiny both from public bodies and from the media. Facing allegations of criminal activity or regulatory misconduct can have serious consequences, but I can help protect your liberty. I regularly assist clients accused of the most severe crimes, including all types of fraud, historic sex abuse and drugs offences. You need a lawyer you can trust.
Protecting Your Reputation
When you are accused of criminal activity or misconduct, your character and the reputation of your country is at risk. Any accusations made against you may have a lasting impact on your career, even if the outcome of your case is positive. I act quickly to control any reputational damage. My strategic approach to casework means working hard for you at the earliest stages to mitigate any reputational damage you experience. I can protect you.
