“Clients often come to us on what might be one of the worst days of their lives. To help them requires not only a cool head under pressure and clear strategic thinking, but also empathy. I make sure that clients know that my support is unwavering and my approach meticulous.”

Ross Lennox advises corporates and individuals through criminal investigations, prosecutions by UK authorities, and on bringing and defending private prosecutions. He is known for his command of the criminal disclosure process and regularly collaborates with private investigators and forensic accountants to build the evidential record and manage complex fact-finding.

His work spans cross-border and cross-disciplinary matters, with strategies tailored to the specific needs of each client and case. Over the years, Ross has secured relief in the civil, criminal and insolvency courts—often in connection with high-value disputes alleging fraud or other misconduct.

Before joining Michelman Robinson, he practised at a leading international law firm, where he was part of its Tier-1-ranked private prosecutions team.

Described by colleagues and clients as meticulous yet agile, with strong strategic judgement and a steady hand under pressure, Ross also maintains a growing practice in sports-ethics investigations focused on integrity and governance.
