I joined MLR as a Director in January 2010 after more than 20 years at Hugh James in Cardiff where I had been a partner heading up their Regulatory and Defence team. Since joining MLR, I have established a new Regulatory Investigations team primarily to service an extensive existing client base in the Healthcare sector but to also diversify the practice offering both regionally and nationally.From an early stage in my career, I specialised in major crime and have handled many cases of serious fraud (especially tax) corruption, homicide, health & safety cases (including corporate manslaughter) and courts martial. I have a particular interest in the healthcare sector and care standards. I have been ranked both nationally and regionally as a leader in my field by both The Legal 500 and Chambers. As a Higher Courts Advocate, I undertake most of my own advocacy which has included serious frauds, murder cases and courts martial. My aim is to raise the profile of my team's work with our existing client base and thereafter, to expand the work base both regionally and nationally.Specialties: ■Regulatory Investigations in diverse sectors ■Health and Safety (in particular Corporate Manslaughter) ■Criminal defence of corporates and key individuals before both Magistrates and Crown Court ■Higher Courts Advocate ■Inquests ■Courts Martial
