Samuel Skinner KC

Samuel Skinner KC appears in very significant and complex cases. He is one of only a few silks appointed in both criminal and civil law. Recognised as ‘a star in the making’ he is known for his knowledgeable, focussed, and succinct approach.

Specialising in complex fraud cases brought by the SFO, HMRC, or the Insolvency Service. He also advises in cybercrime, asset recovery, and search warrants. Samuel advises both the Crown and companies on industrial espionage or sabotage cases and spends much of his time advising clients on effective strategies to avoid any charges ever being brought.

Samuel seeks to achieve the best results for his clients (in England and internationally) with the least publicity - an approach commended by his instructing solicitors and clients, most of whom value their privacy extremely. Samuel’s judgment is so well respected that he has previously been called upon to defend very senior lawyers facing criminal allegations.
