1 Michael Duck QC Criminal Fraud & Proceeds of Crime Shortlisted for Regional Silk of the Year in the LEGAL /6 awards Shortlisted in Birmingham Law Society Barrister of the Year 2015/6 Recorder on the Northern Circuit (2015) Chairman of the International Committee of the Criminal Bar Association Member of the International Bar Association Serious Fraud Office QC Panel (2013) Cayman Islands Bar (2013, July and Nov 2015) 2015/6 has been a particularly successful period for Michael and reflects his established reputation as a leading "silk". He was shortlisted for Legal 500's Regional Silk of the Year, he was appointed a Recorder on the Northern Circuit and was a shortlisted finalist in the Birmingham Law Society's "Barrister of the Year" awards 2016." Michael has been appointed to the Serious Fraud Office s specialist panel of independent counsel authorised to prosecute on its behalf (April 2013). The appointment reflects Michael's expertise in the field of fraud and complex crime. The list of those appointed to the specialist panel demonstrates the Serious Fraud Office's commitment to working with the country's top QCs in the prosecution of the most serious and complex crime. The SFO only appointed 64 QCs nationally. Michael's inclusion recognises his successful involvement in the litigation of high profile, multiple defendant trials over a number of years. Michael has recently defended a business man accused of a multimillion pound fraud upon his business customers - the allegations involved business deals conducted out of the jurisdiction. The case required a detailed analysis of the conduct of the business over a number of years and an examination of the relevance of previous proceedings brought against a former company. In a recent case (September 2014) Michael was instructed to defend an abattoir owner accused of unlawfully allowing horses to be disposed of at his premises without the requisite identification documents. The prosecution was not proceeded with after skeleton arguments were settled by defence dealing with the proper interpretation of the relevant EU. Michael has defended and prosecuted in a number of the country s largest gang murders which have attracted both national and
2 international media attention. In addition Michael has a strong following in the area of fraud as evidenced by his appointment to the SFO panel. Michael has a particular interest and expertise in the tracing/defending of assets which are alleged to have been transferred out of the jurisdiction. In October 2013 Michael was an invited guest speaker at the 9th Annual Anti-Money Laundering, Financial Crime, Compliance and Regulation Seminar at the Marriott Hotel in Grand Cayman. Michael presented a lecture to an international audience of compliance professionals on the prosecution of organized crime and importance of the associated compliance and anti-money laundering legislation Michael regularly receives instructions to defend/advise individuals charged with, or convicted of, serious crime in the Caribbean. Michael has recently been appointed to serve as the Director of the International Law Committee of the Criminal Bar Association. During his tenure it is Michael's intention to ensure that productive and enduring links are forged with lawyers' associations worldwide. Michael is recommended in both the Legal 500 and Chambers' directory. Michael is a member of the executive committee of the Criminal Bar Association. He is also a member of both the Midland and South East Circuits. Michael is fully trained in the acceptance of Direct Access work and appears on the Bar Council register. He is also a member of the Commonwealth Lawyers Association & the Association of Commonwealth Criminal Lawyers. Modern criminal litigation expertise Michael recognised the growing importance of the use of technology within the courtroom and its significance in the investigation of serious crime at a very early stage. He has developed his technological expertise over the course of many years and is now recognised as a leader in the field. In the recent trial of eight men charged with the running down of three men during the Birmingham riots of August 2011, Michael took the lead role in challenging the telephone evidence on behalf of all defendants the prosecution evidence was demonstrated to be wholly unreliable and its disintegration contributed significantly to the acquittal of all defendants. The use of mobile telephones and internet communication continues to present challenges during any serious and complex criminal investigation Michael has shown the ability to present the most complex technical evidence in a manner which juries understand. Advised large UK based University upon training of advocates in the Far East Speaker at Birmingham Law Society Seminar on Eliminating the risk of doing business abroad (March 2014) Financial investigations
3 The heavyweight work with which Michael is involved generates complex financial investigations both during the trial process and post conviction. Michael has developed a reputation for his astute analysis of POCA litigation and is regularly instructed to conduct complex financial investigations for both the prosecution and the defence. The financial consequences for defendants in serious criminal cases can be devastating and Michael has the experience to ensure that the client achieves the best possible outcome. Vulnerable witnesses Michael has also developed a reputation as an expert in cases involving young and/or vulnerable witnesses. He has a courtroom manner which allows him to adduce evidence from vulnerable witnesses in an effective but non-confrontational manner. Fraud investigations Michael s ability to consider vast volumes of paperwork and assess that which is relevant to the client s case has served him particularly well in large scale fraud investigations and other matters which have generated substantial unused, but potentially relevant, material.
