He was also inducted into the Legal 500 “Hall of Fame” in 2019, which recognises partners who are “at the pinnacle of the profession”.

Harry receives numerous accolades for his work in representing high net worth individuals caught up in financial crime and international corruption and tax investigations.

He has substantial experience representing individuals who have been the subject of high profile fraud and corruption investigations conducted by the SFO, FCA, HMRC, CMA and their foreign counterparts, such as those concerning ENRC, British American Tobacco, Serco, Standard Bank, GPT/Airbus, Balli Steel, Libor, and Innospec.

"Harry is at the very top of the tree for business crime and he's exceptionally able academically, which is a rare skill-set,” a client said, "He never leaves his case, he's always thinking about the best way to present his client's case strategically."

He is “phenomenally enthusiastic and is very highly respected with very good connections. He's very good at using the law and thrives on complexity."

Chambers HNW have previously described him as “probably the best solicitor in the country who does this work”

Clients say: “He is capable of explaining the complex in a clear and articulate way – he is very commercial and able to see through the maze."
