Neil McInnes

We worked with Pinsent Masons on a complex investigation and disclosure involving potential corruption allegations concerning large multinational corporations. The firm was extremely thorough, collaborating with attorneys across three continents and reviewing a vast volume of data. Thanks to its strong work, the client achieved an outstanding result. Neil McInnes and Edward James led the effort and were excellent—tireless in their approach and strategic in minimising the client’s exposure.
