Bill Wilson over the past few months has clearly demonstrated the benefit of early representation within the investigation stage of a number of matters upon which he has been instructed on, which have resulted in no action being taken by the Police and/or Prosecution Authority. It really is important to seek expert advice as soon as an allegation becomes known, since at that stage it allows steps to be taken which can greatly influence whether charges are brought at all.
Needless to say his clients were delighted firstly in being able to extricate themselves from the threat and trauma of proceedings and ultimately being able to retain their good reputation and of course save on potential legal contested costs. In this digital age the consequences of a conviction or even a caution can be catastrophic, not just in terms of liberty but also for future careers, trade for your company and even travel.
The cases have covered a wide range of matters which included the following, although by no means exhaustive:
Allegation of Murder investigated by Operation Trident. No further action at investigation stage.
Fraud alleged by a High Street Clothing Retailer – No further action at investigation stage.
Allegations of Assault within a domestic setting involving on both occasions, suspects employed within the Financial Services Industry. No further action at investigation stage.
Allegation of possession of Indecent images investigated by Operation Sapphire. No further action at investigation stage.
Allegation of Assault and Harassment involving a medical professional. No further action at investigation stage.
Fraud and Forgery of a will valued in excess of £1.5 million investigated by Specialist Economic Crime Unit, New Scotland Yard. No further action at investigation stage.
Bill is also currently advising in a number of other matters to seek similar results for other clients, one of which includes the high profile investigation into Bribery & Corruption allegations involving the ex-Prime Minister and ex-Finance Minister in the Turks & Caicos Islands.
