Mishcon de Reya LLP

Described as ‘industry leaders’, Mishcon de Reya LLP specialises in ultra-high value private prosecutions within fraud, including large-scale property fraud. ‘Tactically brilliant’ barrister Gareth Minty heads up the team and has been involved in criminal enforcement matters running in concurrence with civil proceedings, representing victims of crime, benefitting from strong knowledge of the law enforcement agencies involved. The practice saw the addition of Sam Smart in March 2024, previously an in-house counsel who acts as a trial advocate as well as a lawyer, with a particular focus on fraud, money laundering, and offences committed by company directors.
