What the Team is Known For
Deka Chambers is a set with "invaluable strength in depth" and "exceptionally talented barristers," according to their clients. Acting largely for prosecuting agencies, such as the Serious Fraud Office, the Crown Prosecution Service Specialist Fraud Division and the Financial Conduct Authority, but also for individuals and companies in need of defence, the set's practice regularly sees its members involved in large-scale fraud trials and investigations. An example of recent work undertaken by counsel at Deka includes prosecuting in Operation Volcanic, a GBP50 million-plus benefits fraud trial involving the trafficking of Eastern European nationals into the UK.
Michael Goodridge is the Director of Clerking and Business Development.
