Tamlyn Edmonds, Managing Partner of Edmonds Marshall McMahon commented:
“We started our firm almost 14 years ago without a single client. It hasn’t always been easy but it has always been worthwhile. We have helped hundreds of victims seek redress and we are proud to have fostered the growth of a truly unique area of law: private prosecutions for economic crime. Over recent years, our clients have needed additional assistance in investigations, civil fraud and white-collar crime; other expert partners and lawyers have joined us to make us the successful firm we are today. We have become greater than three founding partners: we have an incredible pool of talented lawyers and forensic investigators dealing with some of the most complex and topical cases in the world.The story of our growth journey has been remarkable. We recognise the opportunity that external investment can offer to help us further accelerate our growth, whilst retaining our ethos and enabling us to provide an outstanding experience for our people and clients. We’re looking forward to partnering with Alcuin, an innovative and experienced private equity investor with a proven track record of supporting founder-led businesses. Alcuin are already proving that their enthusiasm and experience will enable a very different future for Edmonds Marshall McMahon.”
