Alun Milford quoted following UK Governments "fence sitting" approach to reforms of corporate criminal liability laws

Alun Milford, Partner in our Criminal Litigation team, has been quoted in The Law Society Gazette, Fraud Intelligence and Solicitors Journal following the UK Government recently announcing the evidence submitted for reforming corporate liability for economic crime was ‘inconclusive’ and further work is needed before considering any change to the law.

Alun quoted:

Three years to consider a consultation exercise, produce a fence-sitting report of 74 paragraphs and then pass the buck to someone else is hardly impressive. So the status quo continues but this issue has not gone away.
