St Pauls case nominated for “Most Important Development of the Year” 

We are thrilled to share that a case handled by Chambers has been shortlisted for the prestigious “Most Important Development of the Year” Award at the Global Investigations Review (GIR) Awards 2024 in Washington, D.C., USA. The GIR Awards recognise the exceptional individuals and firms behind the year’s most significant investigations and legal developments.

This recognition highlights the groundbreaking work of St Pauls’ barristers on the first-ever Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) between the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and Entain plc.

Landmark Case

  1. Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) between CPS and Entain plc
    In December 2023, Jane Bewsey KC (Associate tenant) and Cameron Brown KC, (Associate tenant) Hal Watson, and Angus Macdonald successfully led negotiations on behalf of the CPS.
    This historic agreement resulted in Entain plc agreeing to pay a £585 million financial penalty, £20 million in charitable donations, and £10 million towards CPS and HMRC costs.

We are honored to receive this recognition and extend our congratulations to all involved in this landmark case.
