Unlike other areas of law, the presumption in favour of the prosecution in health & safety law makes your choice of law firm crucial in making out your defence.  Bark & Co have experience of representing both individuals and companies in criminal defence proceedings and civil proceedings.

We pride ourselves on being pro-active from when we are made aware of an incident and during any investigation.  We look to avoid action being taken from an early stage, but if proceedings are commenced, we will be in total control of your case from day one. We are closely linked to leading counsel who have unrivalled knowledge of the Health & Safety Act and the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act.

R v Thakrar - client acquitted, fred bunn

http://www.barkco.co.uk/News/R+v+Thakrar+-+client+acquitted


Bark & Co Solicitors have successfully secured the acquittal of Kevan Thakrar.  Our client is a serving prisoner having previously been convicted of triple murder in 2009.

Kevan Thakrar was charged with 2 counts of attempt murder and 3 counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent. All allegations related to attacks on prison officers in HMP Frankland, Durham.

Giving evidence, Kevan Thakrar informed the jury that he suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder following an attack on him by officers within the prison system.  His defence centred around the bullying and racism that he has sustained whilst in the prison system and that his actions were in self defence.

The Solicitor instructed, Marie Bourke, along with a dedicated defence team from Bark & Co, sought and succeeded in obtaining information which severely undermined the prosecution case and highlighted the torturous regime which is alive within the prison system.  Great lengths were taken to secure evidence from legal professionals, professionals within the medical field, as well as serving prisoners.

A City trader accused of a £1.4bn ($2.2bn) fraud at the London offices of Swiss banking giant UBS is to be freed from Wandsworth Prison on bail.
Kweku Adoboli, 32, will be released on Monday with an electronic tag ahead of his trial in September, a bail hearing at Southwark Crown Court heard.
He was "delighted" by the decision, his lawyer Giles Bark-Jones said.
The trader, who was arrested in September last year, denies two charges of false accounting and two of fraud.
Mr Bark-Jones told the BBC: "Our client is both emotional and delighted at the outcome of today's bail hearing. He looks forward to working on his case at our London offices."
Mr Adoboli, of Clark Street, east London, is accused of unauthorised trading while working for UBS's global synthetic equities division, where he bought and sold exchange traded funds.

Insider dealing

http://www.barkco.com/Expertise/Insider+dealing


Insider trading is a form of ‘market abuse’ and includes the misuse of information whilst trading investments in the UK markets. The Financial Services

Authority (FSA) has wide ranging powers to take action against anyone suspected of market abuse or whose conduct falls below acceptable standards.
In many cases, the nature of trading investments in the markets attracts FSA interest where no intention exists to misuse information or manipulate the

market. But, after years of adverse publicity for not tackling market abuse head on, the FSA is becoming much tougher.
Our team at Bark & Co are very well acquainted with the regulatory regime designed to ensure compliance and to maintain high standards of market conduct.

Amongst a number of defence cases involving our team, one has been described as ‘the biggest insider dealing case ever launched by the UK FSA’, a case

which has ‘sent shockwaves through the country’s financial industry’. In another highly complex case, our clients are being investigated by HM Revenue and

Customs to establish whether a significant shareholding had been manipulated for tax purposes. In a third, we are representing one of a number of

individuals in an insider ring who allegedly had knowledge of impending company takeovers and acted to benefit substantially from confidential information.
As one of the most prominent fraud firms in the City of London, Bark & Co are well placed to provide the best advice to clients who find themselves the

subject of FSA investigations into money laundering.

Serious Crime

http://www.barkco.com/Expertise/Serious+Crime

Bark & Co has developed a formidable reputation in the area of serious crime. Over the past few years, criminal work has expanded and diversified, whilst

remaining at the top end in terms of quality and complexity. Current cases range from complex murder and drug crimes to the sale of false identity

documents involving anti-terrorism forces in UK and around the world.
Bark & Co have forged a particular niche in ‘cold cases’ relating to what we believe had become an over reliance by prosecutors on evidence from unreliable

‘supergrasses’.  Similarly, we have been at the forefront in defending a high-profile case testing the application of new rules on hearsay evidence. As an

example of the extremely sensitive and diverse nature of our criminal work, Bark & Co were brought in to act in criminal cases involving occupying forces

in Iraq.
Amongst other recent high profile matters we are involved with several murder cases, in one of which we made a successful application to have the principal

‘supergrass’s evidence excluded. We also raised pertinent questions about police conduct during the investigation in relation to this evidence.
We have just received instructions in one of the biggest drug smuggling multi-jurisdictional cases stretching from Columbia via the Caribbean to Europe.

This involved high grade cocaine worth hundreds of millions of pounds on the streets of London and money laundering.
Our successes at Bark & Co are characterised by our detailed research and analysis which enable us to challenge customary practice and regulations and find

the best possible outcome for our clients.
