Long established fraud specialist with considerable experience in mainstream crime.
Before taking silk was Standing Counsel to HMC&E during which time he prosecuted many of the major revenue cases of the day including excise duty and VAT evasion, Common Agricultural Policy fraud, Anti Dumping Duty and import levy fraud.
Since taking silk he has been in constant demand by leading defence firms nationwide. Secured a notable victory in the largest MTIC fraud to be prosecuted when he represented the main defendant, Neil Dawe. His reputation for defending in difficult cases against HM Revenue and Customs has led to him recently being instructed in a number of VAT Appeal Tribunal cases representing appellant companies denied the right to reclaim many millions in VAT upon the export of mobile phones and CCUs.
His mainstream practice includes all aspects of serious crime both defending and prosecuting. Cited as leading Silk in Chambers & Partners and the Legal 500.
