Business Crime Business Crime We are tenacious, dedicated and highly regarded criminal law specialists working at the cutting edge of the investigations space. We have been involved at the sharp end of many significant financial crime and regulatory cases of the last decade. We have understanding and insight of how the police and prosecuting authorities such as the Serious Fraud Office, Financial Conduct Authority, HM Revenue & Customs, National Crime Agency (NCA) and the Competition & Markets Authority operate and what their current priorities are. We give practical and strategic advice to limit the impact if you, your business or your senior executives or employees are at risk of or involved in a criminal investigation or prosecution. Our aim is to keep your matter, particularly if it is high profile or at risk of being reputationally damaging, under the radar. You may be facing or be concerned about allegations such as fraud, false accounting, investment or benchmark fraud, bribery and corruption, insider dealing and market abuse, cartels and price-fixing, sanctions, money laundering, tax evasion or cheat, restraint and confiscation. Every client and case is different. We build the right team of lawyers and forensic investigators for you and provide bespoke advice tailored to the situation you are facing. Criminal investigations are worrying and time-consuming and, ultimately, a disruptive distraction to business and home life – however they resolve. Whether your case is big or small, we care about the outcome and we want the best possible experience for you. As well as acting for corporates, we often act for directors and senior executives who require separate 'independent legal advice' from their company. We have advised senior officials from Government, the police and public bodies. So, whether you are a suspect, witness, victim or whistle-blower, we can help you. We are tactically astute, dedicated to your case, and have steely determination. We will explain your legal obligations and identify any risks. We get to the point quickly and make complex issues simple, so as to manage the threat to your reputation and business. We are on your side and will advise you how to handle the entire process whilst providing pragmatic and realistic advice. Whilst many of our cases are discontinued, if an investigation ends up in a prosecution we will assemble a strong defence team to represent you and present your case in Court. We ‘look under every stone’ to ensure you are properly and thoroughly prepared to achieve the best possible outcome. We know and work closely with many other lawyers in the UK and co-counsel with overseas lawyers if there are cross-border investigations in other jurisdictions (in particular within Europe and the US). We also work closely with our regulatory and employment law colleagues – particularly when there are whistleblowing, internal investigation, disciplinary or resignation issues to advise on. If there is a public law issue to challenge, say by way of judicial review, we can represent you in those proceedings too. Funding We can discuss the funding options, the proposed scope of work and budget with you. Depending on the situation, you should check whether you have any legal expenses insurance (for example under professional indemnity, Directors’ & Officers’ or household insurance policies) or consider whether a third party, such as an employer, will contribute to your legal fees (eg under an indemnity).

Most commonly, we will use your personal data in the following circumstances: Where we need to perform the contract we are about to enter into or have entered into with you. Where it is necessary for our legitimate interests (or those of a third party) and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests. Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation. To carry out services we have agreed to provide to you. Generally we do not rely on consent as a legal basis for processing your personal data other than in relation to sending third party direct marketing communications to you via email or text message. You have the right to withdraw consent to marketing at any time by contacting us . Purposes for which we will use your personal data We have set out below, in a table format, a description of all the ways we plan to use your personal data, and which of the legal bases we rely on to do so. We have also identified what our legitimate interests are where appropriate. Note that we may process your personal data for more than one lawful ground depending on the specific purpose for which we are using your data. Please contact us if you need details about the specific legal ground we are relying on to process your personal data where more than one ground has been set out in the table below.

We have established the following personal data control mechanisms: Promotional offers from us We may use your Identity, Contact, Technical, and Usage Data to form a view on what we think you may want or need, or what may be of interest to you.

You will receive marketing communications from us if you have requested information from us or purchased services from us or if you provided us with your details and, in each case, you have not opted out of receiving that marketing. Third-party marketing We will get your express opt-in consent before we share your personal data with any third party company for marketing purposes. Opting out You can ask us or third parties to stop sending you marketing messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you or by contacting us at any time.

We do not allow our third-party service providers to use your personal data for their own purposes and only permit them to process your personal data for specified purposes and in accordance with our instructions. 6. International transfers Many of our external third parties are based outside the European Economic Area (EEA) so their processing of your personal data will involve a transfer of data outside the EEA.

Data retention How long will you use my personal data for? We will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements.

Your personal data will be destroyed when the file relating to your matter is destroyed (in accordance with our data retention periods). In accordance with Regulation 41 of the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017, any personal data received from you will be processed only: For the purposes of preventing money laundering or terrorist financing; If use of the data is permitted by or under an enactment other than those Regulations or the UK GDPR; or If we have obtained your consent to the proposed use of the data. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, accounting or reporting requirements. By law and under the Money Laundering Regulations we have to keep basic information about our clients (including Contact, Identity, and Transaction Data) for five years after they cease being clients for regulatory purposes.

Your legal rights Under certain circumstances, you have rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. You have the right to: Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a "data subject access request"). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it. Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us. Request erasure of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request. Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms. Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in the following scenarios: (a) if you want us to establish the data's accuracy; (b) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (c) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (d) you have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it. Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you. Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent. If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us . No fee usually required You will not have to pay a fee to access your personal data (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances. What we may need from you We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response. Time limit to respond We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated. 10. Glossary Lawful Basis Legitimate Interest means the interest of our business in conducting and managing our business to enable us to give you the best service and the best and most secure experience particularly in compliance with our agreed terms and conditions with you (in the case of clients of Constantine Law), or agreed terms of business (in the case of suppliers to Constantine Law). We make sure we consider and balance any potential impact on you (both positive and negative) and your rights before we process your personal data for our legitimate interests. We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You can obtain further information about how we assess our legitimate interests against any potential impact on you in respect of specific activities by contacting us . Performance of Contract means processing your data where it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request before entering into such a contract.

Now that it is over, that is what I recall most clearly from his involvement". October 2025 Previous Next

Expertise Ancillary services We do "the law of work" and we provide solutions to all aspects of our clients' work needs. We have vetted senior advisers in the below areas to support our clients with their employment concerns. IR 35 We advise large and medium-sized businesses on the April 2020 IR35 changes (now postponed to April 2021), which should not be ignored. HMRC changes mean that ultimate PAYE liability is passed along the contractor-chain to the client unless a proper status determination is made. We are advising a number of national recruiters, logistics companies and construction companies on the proposed IR 35 changes, in particular. As ever, we adopt a “solutions-focused” approach. MORE Retainer package We pride ourselves in becoming our clients' trusted advisors. Often the best way of achieving this is through an ongoing HR legal support service, paid for quarterly.
