Anti-Corruption & Anti-Bribery Counsel
We represent individuals and organisations in Anti-Corruption Commission enquiries, investigations and trials, and help companies build compliance programmes that prevent problems before they start.
Protecting reputation and liberty when it matters most
An enquiry notice from the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), an asset-statement demand or an allegation of bribery can put a person’s liberty and a company’s reputation at risk overnight. Early, careful legal advice often shapes the whole course of the matter.
Premier Law Services advises at every stage — from responding to the first notice and preparing for interviews, to bail, quashment and trial before the Special Judge’s Court and appeals to the High Court Division. For businesses, we design anti-bribery policies, conduct internal investigations and review third-party and procurement risk.

Frequently asked questions
I have received a notice from the ACC. What should I do?
Do not ignore it, and do not respond without advice. Contact a lawyer promptly so the reply and any documents are prepared carefully and within the deadline.
Is my consultation confidential?
Yes. Communications with our lawyers are confidential and handled with complete discretion.
Can proceedings be quashed?
In appropriate cases the High Court Division may quash proceedings, for example where the allegations disclose no offence. We assess this from the outset.
Do you help companies prevent corruption risk?
Yes. We draft anti-bribery policies, review agents and suppliers, and carry out internal investigations for businesses.
