Financial Crime Law with James Bewley

All law students learn about Criminal Law as part of their degree, but few know about financial and white collar crimes.

This week we’ll be sitting down with James Bewely, a Director in the Financial Crime Business Oversight Compliance team at Barclays. In the episode we discuss what is Financial Crime Law, the factors that gave its accelerated rise to a prominent area of practice, and the role of technological development in it. 

Outside of Financial Crime, we discuss James’s career journey - starting off as a Criminal Barrister, transitioning to a Senior Associate at HSF, and finally life as an in-house lawyer and the career progression opportunities that come from it.
