Hickman & Rose again ranked “Band 1” for financial crime defence in Chambers HNW guide

Hickman & Rose is pleased to be recognised again by Chambers & Partners’ High Net Worth guide as operating at the highest possible level for financial crime defence.

For the fourth year running the firm’s business crime team is a leading Band 1 firm in the HNW category of Financial Crime – High Net Worth Individuals”.

“There is excellence at every level within Hickman & Rose,” one respondent tells the newly released guide, “they are an exceptional team providing an exceptional service.”

“What sets them apart is that they are less focused on what might be described as the bells and whistles and instead are focused entirely on ruthless efficiency and excellence.”

Or, as another respondent tells the guide: “Their client care is superb, their people are excellent, and they rightly attract the highest-quality work and the highest-quality clients because you get a bespoke service from them; it’s the Savile Row of criminal practice.”

Again ranked a “Band 1” practitioner, Ross Dixon is “one of the pre-eminent white collar crime litigators in the country”. He is an “absolutely brilliant lawyer with phenomenal instincts. His calm and collected demeanour puts everyone at ease, and he really uses that to devastating effect.”

The “immensely well respected” Ben Rose, meanwhile, is “one of the most charismatic solicitors, but this belies a steely and wise analytical ability.”

Andrew Katzen is a “safe pair of hands – a very good boutique solicitor for high-end private work”.

Christopher Houssemayne du Boulay is praised as “an absolute machine” and “super bright”. “It’s no exaggeration to say that he wins cases. He’s enormously talented.”

Emily Sheils – newly ranked as a Band 4 practitioner this year – is “really sharp”, “tenacious” and “an iron fist in a velvet glove”.
