Chambers UK 2020"A fantastic solicitor" with "brilliant judgement"
"Claire has the rare advantage of having worked at the highest level for both prosecution and defence in the most significant corporate crime cases of the last 25 years" (Legal 500 2021). Prior to joining Hogan Lovells, as Chief Criminal Counsel she headed up the criminal prosecution function at the UK financial services regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority; before that she was a partner at a leading UK law firm in London focusing on white collar crime. Her combined prosecution and defence experience allows her to bring a unique insight to her work.
Claire “offers particular strength in investigations into money laundering, corruption and bribery and is noted for prior experience at the FCA. Claire Lipworth is totally on top of her subject matter” (Chambers UK 2023). She focuses on money laundering, fraud, false accounting, bribery and market abuse. As a member of the Crisis Leadership Team Claire helps clients with internal investigations and external investigations conducted by UK enforcement agencies and regulators, and works closely with colleagues abroad on cross-border matters. She also guides companies and financial institutions in respect of financial crime compliance, including preparing policies and processes and providing training.
