Peters & Peters Solicitors LLP stands out for its involvement in prosecutions stemming from business crime, including fraud, sitting within the firm’s business crime and investigations department. Indeed, Michael O’Kane often prosecutes corruption and international fraud cases, utilising experience as a former CPS senior specialist prosecutor. The wider group is experienced in both the prosecution and defence of high-profile claims for both corporate and individual clients, but practice head Nick Vamos has a great deal of experience on the defence side, and often defends high-value private prosecutions, including in groundbreaking recent cases.
