Sara Teasdale has consistently been involved in some of the most high profile and complex white-collar crime and contentious regulatory cases. She has extensive experience of criminal and regulatory investigations and prosecutions brought by the SFO; FCA; CMA; MHRA; DOJ and the CFTC. Sara acts primarily for senior, often high-profile individuals and corporate clients. Sara also advises individuals in relation to internal investigations. Sara's notable cases include acting for a corporation in Operation Holbein (SFO investigation into alleged criminal cartel activity in the pharmaceutical industry) and acting for individuals in a number of SFO corruption cases including BAE systems corruption investigation into South African arms deals and more recently Sweett Group plc. Sara also acted for a UK based property developer charged with bribery relating to property dealings with the government ministers in the Turks & Caicos Islands ("TCI").
