About

Satnam’s extensive practice spans from public company internal and external investigations (including those conducted by the UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO), the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the UK National Crime Agency (NCA), HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), the UK Financial Reporting Council (FRC) and the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) to individual defence for senior executives. Satnam has significant experience advising companies facing UK public inquiries, as well as crisis management for senior executives and the boards of multinational companies, on sensitive legal or reputational issues.

He has repeatedly been recognised and ranked by Chambers and Partners, The Legal 500, and Who’s Who Legal in respect of white collar and investigations matters, including in the Legal 500 Hall of Fame. Before joining EMM in 2024, Satnam set up and led the White-Collar practice at the London offices of a prominent, global law firm (2012-2024).

Prior to that, he spent more than 17 years at the SFO where he directed, and worked on, some of the most complex criminal fraud and corruption matters in the UK, including international and domestic corruption, investment fraud, company fraud, insider dealing and market manipulation. Satnam was responsible for multi-jurisdictional cases involving the DOJ, SEC and a number of European and Asian prosecutors. At the SFO, he advised on all aspects of the UK co-operating defendant regime, including the provision of immunities from prosecution and restricted use undertakings, and he was the lead point of contact on extradition and European Arrest Warrants.
