Vedrana Pehar

Position

Vedrana is recognised as a leading junior in the highly complex arena of fraud. She handles the full range of financial crime cases, including serious fraud, insider dealing and market abuse, corruption and bribery (domestic and international), benefit and mortgage fraud and money laundering. Vedrana has been instructed in some of the largest and most high-profile business crime cases before the UK courts involving senior executives, corporate entities and global institutions, including LIBOR rate–fixing, Weavering Capital Fund fraud and Dahdaleh.  She has experience of dealing with SFO, FCA and DOJ investigations as well as internal investigations.

Vedrana has a detailed understanding of both the law and procedure relating to ancillary proceedings, such as restraint proceedings, confiscation proceedings and Administrative Court proceedings. She is well-placed to advise clients on all aspects of asset forfeiture, from pre-charge restraint through to post-conviction confiscation, or civil recovery in the event of acquittal.

Vedrana is currently instructed on behalf of a former banker relating to charges of defrauding the Libyan Sovereign Wealth Fund.

Vedrana regularly contributes to publications and presents to law firms and corporates on financial crime matters.  She is a Middle Temple advocacy trainer and regularly judges moot competitions.
