Welcome to Bark & Co Solicitors – We specialise in the defence of criminal fraud, money laundering, and serious crime. We also have specialist teams who have significant experience of dealing with tax issues, customs investigations and prosecutions and in proceedings before the Commissioners of HM Revenue and Customs and at the VAT and Duties Tribunal.
Few firms of solicitors in the UK offer such a wide range of experience and evidence of success within the more notorious, multi-million pound landmark cases of both great length and complexity.
We are an approved member of the Specialist Fraud Panel, the nationwide group of specialist fraud solicitors, and as such are able to undertake publicly funded defence work for serious fraud cases. Members of our team are involved in local police station and court duty solicitor schemes.
Our dedicated specialist teams offer our national and international clients rapid advice and assistance when conducting all stages of legal proceedings. We also maintain close links with the top sets of Chambers, instructing only the finest specialist barristers.
Within Bark & Co’s specialist teams are those who have had experience working directly for Government agencies, such as HM Revenue and Customs.

- VAT and Duties Tribunal
- HM Revenue and Customs
- Crown Prosecution Service
- Serious and Organised Crime Agency (SOCA)
- Asset Recovery Agency
- Serious Fraud Office
