Amy is recognised by The Legal 500 UK 2024 for Regulatory Investigations and Corporate Crime.
Prior to joining Gibson Dunn, Amy was a lawyer at the Serious Fraud Office, where she gained extensive experience in complex fraud and bribery investigations and prosecutions involving both corporate entities and high net worth individuals. In that role, she worked on some of the SFO’s most significant and high-profile matters, with a particular focus on large-scale investigations involving complex factual and legal issues. Her experience included advising on investigative strategy, analysing large volumes of evidence, preparing cases for charge and trial, and working closely with counsel, investigators and other agencies in the context of serious economic crime matters.
She also advised on ancillary proceedings arising from those investigations, including confiscation and restraint, and developed substantial experience of the procedural, evidential and strategic issues that arise in high-value financial crime cases. This experience continues to inform her work on internal investigations, regulatory matters and complex disputes for corporate clients.
Amy also has a wide range of advocacy experience from her time at the independent bar, during which she handled a variety of criminal and civil cases.
