CRIME SET OF THE YEAR 2010 - Chambers & Partners
‘At QEB Hollis Whiteman “the clerks are efficient… and the quality of tenants is consistently high”.’
– Legal 500 (2009)
QEB Hollis Whiteman chambers specialises in three main practice areas: Fraud, Regulatory and Discipline, and Crime.
At QEB Hollis Whiteman, we have an excellent well-established reputation in business crime. Our barristers have appeared in many of the most important fraud trials and are regularly involved in the full range of associated advice and representation.
Our strong regulatory team has an outstanding reputation in regulatory prosecutions and has now built a comparable reputation for excellence in regulatory defence work, which has seen the volume of this work increase substantially. We also appear in a wide range of disciplinary tribunals.
Our members have appeared to prosecute and defend in many of the most significant and high-profile criminal trials of the last 40 years. We offer wide-ranging expertise at all levels, including senior QCs and junior barristers. Our pupils are actively involved in assisting in general crime cases. We conduct a range of criminal cases, including some prosecutions, on private instruction.
