Adam Brown focuses his practice on multijurisdictional investigations and has 20 years of experience advising on high-profile litigation, contentious insolvency, and compliance matters. The Legal 500 calls him “one of the finest solicitors around”; “sensationally bright and has phenomenal strategic insight.” Adam has particular experience in matters relating to insolvency claims, fraud, asset tracing, theft of confidential information, regulatory issues, and corruption. He has acted on the United Kingdom’s largest preference claim (Comet), largest wrongful trading award (BHS, the highest profile UK retail failure of recent decades that established the new concept of trading misfeasance), first ever deferred prosecution agreement (involving the first indictment under s.7 UK Bribery Act), and what are believed to be the two largest frauds ever perpetrated on the London AIM market (Langbar and Sibir Energy).
