Edward Henry KC

Spear’s Review

Edward Henry KC, head of the regulation practice group at Mountford Chambers, was called to the Bar in 1988 and became a silk in 2018.

Described as ‘a silk of huge intellect’ by his chambers, Henry specialises in crime – more specifically, corporate and financial crime. He has dedicated his career to defending the most serious and high-profile crimes at all stages of the process and is frequently instructed to adopt a case at appeal to provide the greatest opportunity of success for the client.

In the corporate and financial crime world, he is ‘able to digest vast amounts of complex material and to efficiently communicate accessible advice and arguments, whether to a client or jury’, according to his former law firm, QEB Hollis Whiteman.
