Firm appoints new senior associate
Constantine Law, the employment and business immigration law specialist firm, is boosting its financial crime and regulatory team with the recruitment of Ami Amin as senior associate. Ami joins Constantine Law from BCL Solicitors, where she has worked since 2017. Prior to that she was at Kingsley Napley LLP.

Ami has been working in private practice for over ten years and has considerable expertise in criminal and regulatory investigations across a range of enforcement and regulatory bodies. She is experienced in advising senior executives in proceedings brought by UK enforcement bodies including the SFO, FCA, NCA, and cross border proceedings, including matters brought by the US DoJ and SEC amongst other overseas authorities. She also has significant expertise acting in proceedings before the GMC, GDC, HCPC and TRA in both defence and investigatory functions. She has recently advised senior executives in two high profile SFO/FCA investigations into two blue chip companies.

Constantine Law managing partner, John Hayes, commented: ‘Ami’s appointment is a further push for Constantine Law into the Financial Crime and Regulatory sector, which we believe is a growing area of law, given the fallout from Covid-19. We will be looking to boost our expertise further and hope to hire further senior lawyers in this sector.’
