The Head of the Crime and Fraud team, Partner Peter Minnikin, said: “I believe there are few practices in the North Yorkshire region which can offer the breadth and depth of experience in crime, fraud and regulatory matters that our team can bring.

"I am delighted to welcome both Shah and Eve who will be invaluable in what is a very busy area for us.”
