International Fraud, Bribery and Corruption

Whether in the UK or foreign jurisdictions 9BR Chambers advise clients on civil and criminal cases of international fraud, bribery and corruption utilising experts from our international network.

Our barristers are instructed by clients in cases of international fraud, bribery and corruption, financial crime and trust crime.  We are also requested to supervise, or collaborate with lawyers conducting civil and criminal cases in foreign jurisdictions. Our instructions have included cases of global corruption involving multinational corporations and multiple law enforcement agencies.

Clients also commission us to carry out investigations and provide reports upon political and corporate corruption in foreign jurisdictions. Some of these reports are released into the public domain to expose wrongdoing and risks associated with these jurisdictions. Other clients require us to advise upon their compliance and conduct in jurisdictions in which they operate, particularly those subject to the UK Bribery Act 2010.

We advise on the tracing and recovery of assets that have been either stolen or corruptly obtained. In these cases we use experts from our international network to research the financial footprints and links between individuals and corporations.
