Our client, a senior finance director at a London investment firm, was charged alongside three co-defendants with conspiracy to commit fraud by abuse of position, involving alleged losses of £2.3 million over 5 years. The prosecution's case rested on complex financial records and the evidence of a cooperating witness. Led by Founding Partner Arthur Wright, our team spent 14 months scrutinising every transaction, uncovering critical inconsistencies in the Crown's financial analysis. After a 7-week trial at Southwark Crown Court, the jury returned a unanimous verdict of not guilty on all counts. Our client returned to professional life with his reputation intact.

Wright & Justice Firm acted as lead UK legal counsel to Meridian Logistics Ltd, a rapidly expanding UK-based freight operator, in its acquisition of a Dutch transport group for £14 million. The transaction involved navigating complex post-Brexit regulatory requirements, coordinating with Dutch counsel, securing Competition and Markets Authority clearance, and managing the TUPE transfer of 87 employees. The deal was completed within 4 months — significantly faster than industry average — allowing Meridian to capitalise on a time-sensitive market opportunity.

Our client, a Japanese national who had lived and worked lawfully in the UK for over a decade, had her application for Indefinite Leave to Remain refused three times by the Home Office on the grounds of an alleged gap in lawful residence. We identified that the refusals were based on a misapplication of the Immigration Rules and applied for a statutory review. Our judicial review application succeeded in the Upper Tribunal, which found in favour of our client. ILR was granted within 28 days of the judgment. Our client has since obtained British citizenship.

Our client suffered catastrophic injuries to his right hand and wrist following a workplace accident caused by defective machinery at a pharmaceutical manufacturing plant. His employer, Synthex PLC, initially denied liability and disputed the extent of his injuries. Our personal injury team commissioned independent medical and engineering expert reports, demonstrating both the employer's negligence and the long-term impact on our client's ability to work. After 18 months of litigation, Synthex agreed to a settlement of £385,000, including compensation for loss of earnings, pain and suffering, and the cost of future care.

In this highly sensitive matter, our client sought permission to relocate permanently to Canada with her two children following the breakdown of a 12-year marriage. The children's father strenuously opposed the application. Led by Senior Associate Margaret Hollis, our family law team prepared a comprehensive relocation proposal supported by detailed evidence of our client's plans for housing, schooling, and maintaining the children's relationship with their father. After a 3-day hearing in the Family Division, the court granted the relocation order, with a carefully structured international contact arrangement for the father.

Our client, a successful restaurateur, suffered significant financial losses as a result of negligent advice provided by a former firm of solicitors in connection with a commercial lease renewal. The negligent advice caused our client to miss a critical break clause, locking her into an unfavourable lease for an additional 10 years at above-market rent. Our dispute resolution team brought a professional negligence claim against the former solicitors, demonstrating the full extent of the financial losses suffered. The claim settled for £220,000, enabling our client to restructure her business and continue trading.
