What our clients say

“I just wanted to write to thank you for meeting with me on Monday. On behalf of myself and my daughter it's a great comfort to know that there are still good people in the world and I really appreciate you taking time out of your schedules when you really didn't have to, to see me. I won't forget it.”

Bribery Act

The Bribery Act came into force on 1 July having received Royal Assent on 8 April 2010. Its aim is to replace antiquated law on this subject and to ensure that the UK comes into line with the majority of other countries’ anti-bribery legislation.

The provisions of the Act affects all commercial businesses. It not only reiterates the illegality of paying and receiving bribes, but also requires businesses to take steps to prevent its occurrence in connection with their businesses anywhere in the world.
