‘A very good team which knows its own areas of expertise very well’, Brodies LLP is a chief point of contact for a strong range of public and private clients. The firm is relied upon by major public authorities for help with internal and external audits, investigations, and general financial advice, while a range of domestic and multinational corporates instruct the firm on fraud, bribery and corruption matters. Team head Paul Marshall stands out for his work for senior directors and stakeholders facing allegations of financial crime and sensitive investigations, while Clare Bone has been predominantly active in fraud and embezzlement issues. Katy MacAskill and Finlay MacKenzie have been a key supporting presence across a range of mandates, and Tony Convery regularly assists multi-national corporates.
