Barry heads Greenberg Traurig’s London White Collar Crime & Investigations practice Legal 500 says:

‘Barry Vitou has notable expertise in money laundering matters and the UK Bribery Act, and is praised for his ‘strategic approach to advising corporates, where he always sees the full picture’. In a recent highlight, [he] advised Sweett Group in a corporate prosecution by the SFO in relation to an offence of failure to prevent bribery, a high-profile matter which exposed disadvantages in the precedent set by the SFO for Deferred Prosecution Agreements in the ICBC Standard Bank case.’

Chambers says “The “outstanding” Barry Vitou wins praise from market commentators as “a thought leader in the market” who “really sees where things are going.” His particular expertise lies in advising companies on compliance with the UK Bribery Act and providing representation when alleged violations occur. Sources say: “He has a great ability to speak to clients as he understands business. He is also great at engaging with clients to ensure the client makes no mistakes, and gets the best result possible in the circumstances.”
