In 2021, Toby led the SFO-related fine calculation teams on the GPT (£28.1million) and Petrofac (£77 million) pleas – the latter included significant Ability to Pay work which was conducted in conjunction with a debt and equity raise. Other significant matters include the Rolls-Royce £671 million DOJ, SFO and Brazilian settlement; the US$521 million Teva Settlement; and the US$328 million SBM Offshore DOJ settlement.
