Criminal Law (including Fraud/Financial Crime)
A specialist in serious crime, complex fraud, professional discipline, compliance, civil recovery and asset forfeiture. Ashraf has a national defence practice which includes a case load of some of the biggest and most complex criminal cases seen in recent times. His extensive experience of high-profile litigation in this area covers a wide spectrum of cases, including homicide; firearms; serious sexual offences; and large-scale organised crime, involving price fixing, corruption, cartel, trafficking, money laundering and serious fraud.
He is often instructed at the earliest stages of major investigations so clients have the benefit of his advice and assistance during what is often a critical stage in a criminal inquiry.
Ashraf is permitted by the Bar Council to accept instructions directly from the public under the Public Access Scheme.
In September 2016, Ashraf was appointed an Assistant Boundary Commissioner for England by the Secretary of State.

Ashraf Khan – 2 Bedford Row ‘Ashraf is a senior junior who in reality has a silk's practice already. He has the ability to cut through the complexity of a heavy case and focus on the real issues for the jury. He has a highly defined level of attention in complex work and always on top of his brief.'
London Bar
Ashraf Khan – 2 Bedford Row 'Ashraf has a great eye for detail as well as a tireless work ethic, a combination which makes him ideal for serious fraud work. He has excellent judgement and takes good points with ease whilst setting aside weak points that dilute the presentation of a defence case.'
