Ed Smyth
Spear’s Review
Kingsley Napley’s Ed Smyth deals with serious crime and white-collar investigations, prosecutions and litigation. His cases often include international elements.
He has acted in many significant and complex cases brought by the Serious Fraud Office, HMRC, the Information Commissioner, the Electoral Commission and various professional disciplinary bodies. He has particular expertise dealing with law enforcement applications that seek to freeze or seize assets, including account freezing orders and other applications made under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
Smyth represents high-profile individuals in sensitive cases. Cognisant of his clients’ need to protect their reputations, he is pragmatic in handling the media and devising strategies to minimise publicity.
