First non-solicitor Jonathan Wall mentioned as “key figure” within the practise.

Jonathan, who recently featured on the front page of the Manchester Law Society’s Messenger publication, is the first lawyer who is not a solicitor to be named as a key individual by the publication in Burton Copeland’s history of over 30 years. Mike Mackey, whose career spans in excess of 40 years has never known a non solicitor to be nominated and recognised by the editorial team.

Fraud department “outstanding”

Burton Copeland’s specialist white collar and commercial crime and fraud department is described as an “outstanding team” which regularly acts for corporate and high profile clients in complex commercial crime cases. The team has been very active recently in advising on revenue linked and large scale money laundering cases.
