Practice Areas
Trevor Archer specialises in serious and complex financial investigations and prosecutions, which often have an international dimension and frequently involve corporate suspects and defendants. Following the introduction of the Bribery Act, Trevor represented the Serious Fraud Office in the first successful UK-prosecution of a company for bribery of a foreign public official. When the deferred prosecution regime was established, Trevor represented the Serious Fraud Office in one of the first DPAs to obtain court approval. Trevor subsequently went on to represent the Serious Fraud Office in negotiations and proceedings in relation to two further DPAs, which were both approved by the court. Trevor has particular expertise in matters of privilege and he was admitted to the Bar and the Turks and Caicos Islands to advise specifically on those matters in relation to a bribery investigation and prosecution of former Government Ministers and real-estate developers. Trevor's defence practice
includes cyber fraud, advisory work for major banks in the UK and the US, and for corporates under investigation by the Serious Fraud Office.
