What We Do

Corker Binning is a law firm specialising in fraud, regulatory litigation and general criminal work of all types. Corker Binning protects and advances the interests of individual and corporate clients who need expert advice and representation in regulatory or criminal investigations or proceedings whether as witnesses, suspects, defendants or victims.

Led by partners who are all leaders in their fields, we specialise in criminal litigation of all types with particular emphasis on commercial and international crime involving fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, cartel investigations and insider dealing. We are highly experienced at advising on general criminal matters, ranging from road traffic to murder. We also advise on compliance with the increasing burden of regulatory law on financial services, export control, health and safety and environmental protection.

In many criminal cases, as prosecuting agencies seek to drive down cost and delay to achieve faster results, civil asset forfeiture or alternative civil orders such as Serious Crime Prevention Orders are becoming more and more important. In some cases new powers to grant immunities in exchange for co-operation and non-prosecution mean that it is possible to bring investigations to an end much more quickly than in the past. We are well placed to advise in all these areas.

Our experience in extradition and mutual legal assistance goes back many years and includes cases from around the world including Russia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, the USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia, India, Sri Lanka, most EU and EEA countries, the UAE as well as the Channel Islands, Gibraltar and the Isle of Man.

In addition to our renowned white collar fraud practice, we advise journalists, newspapers and media organisations on a wide range of issues from terrorism legislation to contempt of court. We act in inquests, public enquiries, health and safety investigations, including corporate manslaughter, professional disciplinary issues, company investigations, and all other criminal offences from road traffic to murder. We also have experience in Company Directors Disqualification cases.

Corker Binning has a legal aid franchise from the Criminal Defence Service of the Legal Services Commission, and we are members of their Serious Fraud Panel. In some cases we are able to provide publicly funded representation through legal aid.
