Bribery & Corruption Lawyers

Legal expertise relating to bribery & corruption

The UK’s Bribery Act 2010, which took effect in 2011, has extensive territorial scope and can apply to companies and individuals with minimal ties to the UK. Simply closing a deal in the UK or employing a UK resident can trigger the Act’s provisions.

The Act addresses bribery carried out by the organisation or on its behalf, regardless of where in the world it occurs. We have significant experience representing companies both investigating and being investigated for alleged corruption and bribery.
