Abandonment of outmoded business practices
The Bright Line Law approach is modern and agile. As a barrister law firm, Bright Line Law combines the delivery of traditional legal activities such as representing clients in court and giving “case specific” advice (known as “reserved activities” under the Legal Services Act 2007) with the provision of consultancy services on broader issues involving corporate governance, policy, strategy, and training. Jonathan Fisher QC oversees all of Bright Line Law’s work which is strengthened by its ability to work with independent barristers, academics and consultants from different sectors.
academic work has focused on the growing engagement between criminal law and corporate misconduct. The Centre provides research, policy and strategy briefings on emerging issues, policy and legislation affecting corporate crime in the United Kingdom and globally.
To this end, Bright Line Law has established The White Collar Crime Centre to promote research into corporate wrongdoing, produce policy and strategic briefings, and provide consultancy and training services at the highest level.
Bright Line Law is covered by professional indemnity insurance provided by Bar Mutual in exactly the same way as an individual practitioner.
The purpose of this portal is to provide a platform for law and accountancy practitioners to share thoughts on significant developments in the field of white collar crime.
