Bribery and Corruption

No matter the complexity 9BR Chambers achieves positive results through our persuasive advocacy and wealth of high-profile experience.

States have realised that turning a blind eye to bribery and corruption of public officials, leads to abuse of power and political corruption. 9BR Chambers are expert in providing advice and representation either defending or prosecuting, in high profile and complex cases  particularly in cross-border investigations and multi-jurisdictional prosecutions.

We represent individuals and corporates suspected of bribery or corruption under the UK Bribery Act 2010 and its predecessor legislation from the investigation stage, through to trial by jury. We provide corporations with advice on potential liabilities, adequacy of procedures to prevent bribery and self-reporting and work with them to obtain Deferred Prosecution Agreements.

9BR Chambers has represented whistle-blowers domestically and internationally and are well aware of the particular sensitivities of such cases and the utmost confidentiality and discretion that clients require. On behalf of our clients, we have liaised with international investigative agencies and work with a trusted network of experts with experience in international intelligence.

Our members are regularly instructed to undertake document reviews and case analysis for the SFO and private clients, also advising on legal privilege, disclosure, and evidential relevance.
