Career
Kate advises and represents clients on corporate crime matters, in particular in respect of fraud, corruption, money laundering and sanctions. She assists clients in balancing the competing risks and demands they face from concurrent civil litigation and criminal and regulatory investigation by agencies in multiple jurisdictions.
Kate has significant experience of internal and external investigations, including those conducted by the SFO, FCA, Police and HMRC, and the US DoJ and SEC. She represents clients at compelled interviews with the SFO and regulators. In 2017/2018 she was seconded to the SFO, and has spent substantial time in-house at a FTSE 100 client as lawyer to their investigations team.
She acts for a range of clients, including banks, multinational corporates and individuals.
