Fraud: crime

Three Raymond Buildings

At Three Raymond Buildings, Helen Malcolm KC is highly regarded for her experience in handling a broad range of complex, large-scale fraud cases, often involving international elements, and is sought after for her strength in advising on high-value tax fraud matters. Among the junior end of chambers, Luke Ponte recently defended a woman charged with money laundering offences arising from a investment fraud orchestrated by a partner at a law firm and a financial advisor. The senior end of the team was bolstered by the arrival of Amanda Pinto KC in June 2024.
