As a Senior Associate at Edmonds Marshall McMahon, London, Jane is primarily focused on leading investigations and prosecutions of fraud, bribery and corruption, and other related dishonesty offences. Jane’s current work includes leading large-scale anti-corruption and fraud investigations and prosecutions of corporates and high net-worth individuals in the UK and abroad (on behalf of both UK and foreign entities) and cross-border asset tracing.

Prior to joining the firm, Jane was a Senior Lawyer at the Serious Fraud Office in the bribery and corruption division, working on the global investigation and prosecution of Rolls Royce; one of the largest bribery and corruption cases in UK history. As part of the small team focused specifically on the Energy Division (Oil and Gas) of the Rolls Royce case, Jane worked closely with:
