As well as being accredited on a collective level, partner and head of Farleys’ fraud and business crime department Paul Schofield was praised for his individual contribution, placing him in the top band of lawyers nationwide in both crime & financial crime. The continued success of the department over the last decade demonstrates the team’s continuing reputation in the field of criminal defence.
