The firm is led by a high-powered team of senior prosecutors with an exceptional track record in major fraud prosecutions and regulatory matters. Its criminal practice is staffed by highly experienced prosecutors and investigators, providing tailored prosecution services that cover advice, investigation, criminal proceedings, confiscation, and enforcement. The firm delivers complete solutions to fraud cases, including asset recovery through civil proceedings or criminal confiscation orders.

Edmonds Marshall McMahon has achieved several high-profile successes, including obtaining the highest ever sum awarded in confiscation and compensation proceedings by a private prosecutor (£38m), conducting the largest corporate private prosecution to date, and securing convictions in cases involving fraud by a Russian national and a financial controller.
