2015 Legal Awards
http://www.acquisition-intl.com/2015-legal-awards M&A awards 60 LEGAL awards ~ Best City Boutique - UK Edmonds Marshall McMahon is a private prosecution law firm specialising solely in private prosecutions, the only one of its kind in the UK. Tamlyn Edmonds talks us through the firms work and how they have become a market leader. Established in 2012 Edmonds Marshall McMahon was and still is the only law firm to specialise solely in private prosecutions and is the market leader in this area. We differentiate ourselves from our competitors as all three partners in EMM are experienced prosecutors, each having extensive experience prosecuting for most government departments. We therefore have a vast array of expertise in prosecuting complex, serious fraud and are able to advise on all aspects of the prosecution process without having to revert to counsel or law enforcement for assistance. In addition we also have our own in-house advocacy team consisting of experienced barristers and solicitors. EMM prides itself on being a boutique firm with one specialist area; this enables clients to receive focused advice in a timely and efficient way. We are very different from our competitors in that we are often instructed by other firms to work alongside them where civil proceedings are afoot or contemplated. Our work is varied and so is our client base, being a mixture of corporate clients, charities, NGO’s and individ- uals. Our firm is a market leader in this area. The establishment of our firm and the genesis of this area of law has benefited clients hugely, as previously no other such firm existed that specialized solely in private prosecution. State criminal investigations and prosecution agencies have come under incredible resourcing pressures over the last few years, resulting in a reduction in the investigation and prosecution of financial crime. We therefore look to fill this gap by helping victims of fraud who feel that not only have they been cheated by a fraudster, but that the system has let them down too. In times where public resources are so meagre and justice is so difficult to obtain, we offer clients another avenue which is often far more focused and quicker than state prosecutions. We have also adapted to the sudden increase in demand for preparing submissions to the CPS on behalf of clients under the Victims Right to Review scheme, caused in part by a decrease in the number of specialist fraud prosecutors and lack of public sector appetite to pursue difficult cases. Additionally we have built up expertise in preparing and presenting complex fraud cases for submission to the police to ensure cases are accepted and investigated where they may have otherwise been rejected. It is through our work in these neglected practice areas that we have established ourselves as market leaders. Company: Edmonds Marshall McMahon Tel: +44 (0)20 7583 8392 Email:
