This was probably the largest and most complex fraud case to have been then prosecuted by the SFO. He acts for companies, directors, professionals, and members of the finance sector throughout the country.
Philip conducts cases from the investigation stage (where he is very hands on, preferring where possible, to be personally involved in the preparation by attending interviews and where appropriate making representations to the Prosecuting authorities ) to the Crown Court and beyond.
