Andrew Sackey is an investigations and compliance lawyer with almost 30 years’ experience in the justice system. He has first-hand understanding of how regulators work. This informs his strategies to help multinational clients mitigate large scale bribery, fraud, tax evasion and money laundering risks.
His diverse career spans periods with the SFO, UK & EU criminal policy divisions, and front-line law enforcement leadership roles. This provides him with a unique and compelling level of tactical insight into a wide range of compliance issues faced by corporate clients, and an ability to enhance the de-risking of potentially contentious circumstances.
In his most recent leadership role in government enforcement, Andrew established HMRC’s corporate criminal investigation function in April 2016. Until his departure in 2020, he led the 500 staff charged with the conduct of all high-priority UK tax fraud investigations. Andrew also led on HMRC’s operational response to the Panama Papers data leak and was the UK’s “Responsible Officer” for the anti-facilitation of tax evasion offence.
Andrew also advises clients facing cyber security incidents, specifically deploying his crisis management skills in cyber breach and preparedness situations.
