General Crime in UAE. Edmonds Marshall McMahon is a unique firm of attorneys (known in the UK as solicitors and barristers) with an unrivalled track record in conducting major fraud prosecutions in the UK, often in cross-border matters. The three founding partners have a combined total of 70 years’ experience in criminal justice and they use this background to offer a novel service to victims of crime – that is, of course, the ability to bring a private prosecution.
Edmonds Marshall McMahon regularly implements private prosecution strategies to ensure that those who commit crimes are held accountable. A private prosecution can allow an individual access to justice that is otherwise inaccessible through traditional state law enforcement avenues. By way of background, although the majority of criminal prosecutions in England and Wales are conducted by public agencies, the right to pursue a private prosecution is expressly set out in statute. It is this power on which Edmonds Marshall McMahon relies in order to bring criminal proceedings on behalf of clients.
