David Savage has joined Stewarts as a partner from SG Kleinwort Hambros Bank where he was the Group Senior Sanctions Officer. David joins Richard Kovalevsky QC, who established the Financial Crime department at Stewarts in July 2018.

Prior to deploying his expertise in the field of international sanctions, David worked for several years in the financial crime team at Eversheds Sutherland.  He successfully advises and defends in matters concerning the FCA, SFO, HMRC, NCA, CPS and the DOJ in the USA.  His expertise includes conducting bribery investigations and advising and dealing with money laundering risks and issues.
