Vinay Verma

Partner

Vinay Verma initially took up practice as a criminal defence lawyer specialising in regulatory, business crime and serious fraud litigation and advice. Since then, Vinay has broadened his practice to include all forms of civil litigation (particularly those with a quasi-criminal element) and a particular interest and focus on contentious probate.

Vinay has experience in investigations involving the Competition and Markets Authority (the CMA) and civil enforcement by supervisory bodies for breaches and failures to comply with Anti Money Laundering Regulations. As well as advising on violations and failure, Vinay advises professionals on their obligations and meeting those obligations under these regulations.

With a wide range of skills, Vinay manages large-scale cases and can analyse vast quantities of material. He possesses the aptitude to narrow the field and identify potential issues early.

Vinay Verma is a member of the Association of Regulatory and Disciplinary Lawyers (ARDL) and is the firm’s SRA-approved Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) and Money Laundering Compliance Officer (MLCO).
