Christopher Foulkes

Criminal Defence

Chris has extensive experience of defending in serious and complex criminal allegations.

Beyond his fraud and regulatory work, he has defended across the spectrum, including murder, armed robbery, kidnap, drugs and firearms.

He has advised and represented many defendants and interested parties in confiscation proceedings involving complex financial backgrounds and proprietary interests. For example, he recently represented an international auction house in a successful contested application to permit it to sell high value artwork which was the subject of a criminal restraint order against one of its clients.

He has also represented professionals in matters that are less serious, but for whom the consequences of conviction are likely to be career-ending.
