Mark Wilson, one of the UK’s leading tax investigation and fraud lawyers, has joined national law firm Richard Nelson LLP as a partner as the firm continues to expand and strengthen its legal presence.

Wilson brings with him more than 25 years’ specialist legal experience in heavyweight tax investigations, fraud, company prosecutions and private criminal cases.

He has also represented clients involved in some of the most high profile cases of the past decade, including former Portsmouth FC Chairman Milan Mandaric who was cleared of all charges in his tax case alongside Harry Redknapp.

This lateral hire is the latest senior appointment to the firm’s legal team under its recruitment strategy which appoints based on unrivalled legal experience and industry leading expertise.

Senior partner Richard Nelson, said:

“Mark Wilson and I have known each other for almost three decades and we’ve each respected the other’s work and successes in numerous fraud, regulatory and tax investigation cases. By combining forces, we will be significantly stronger together and able to continue that success for the greater benefit of our clients."

“With the seismic cuts to the legal aid system people are increasingly choosing to pay privately for high quality legal representation and understandably when they are spending their own hard-earned money they require more than ever the best lawyers available to defend them. We are focused on helping clients with these challenges.”

Mark Wilson started his legal career as a frontline criminal advocate in the ’80s before then specialising in fraud cases, becoming partner at Freeth Cartwright in 1990 and setting up the firm’s white collar crime department.

He later co-founded Cartwright King and was part of its growth to become a major UK legal aid firm, while he managed a nationally recognised business defence team involved in financial crime and tax investigation cases.
