Two promotions in fraud & white collar crime team

The fraud and white collar crime team at Garstangs Burrows Bussin has promoted Gary Broadfield and Michael Balmer to partner level.

Gary has a longstanding skill in defending white collar crime and asset forfeiture, having been with the firm since its creation. He has successfully defended clients in some of the most high profile and complex prosecutions brought by the CPS, HMRC and SFO.

Michael was previously a legal adviser at Manchester City Magistrates Court before leaving to head up a newly created licensing and regulatory department at a City Centre firm. He joined Garstangs Burrows Bussin in 2012 and further to his licensing and regulatory work also specialises in general and business crime out of the Manchester and Bolton offices.
