Lily Dou

Partner
“At the heart of every financial investigation is a story hidden in the data. My role is to extract the facts, assess risk with clarity, and help clients move forward with confidence and precision.”

Lily Dou brings more than 15 years of forensic accounting experience to complex investigations and high-value disputes. A Certified Public Accountant and Chartered Accountant, she has led financial crime mandates and regulatory reviews spanning the UK, Asia, Australia, and the United States, with a focus on fraud, bribery, money laundering, sanctions, and accounting irregularities.

Prior to joining Michelman Robinson, Lily served as manager of the Forensic Accounting & Financial Crime team at Addleshaw Goddard, where she coordinated global audits, supported sensitive cross-border investigations, and shaped litigation and enforcement strategies in collaboration with legal teams. She is especially adept at synthesising large volumes of financial data, building bespoke risk matrices, and working alongside internal audit, compliance, and external counsel to uncover financial misconduct and quantify loss.

Lily’s work has included matters before the High Court and in arbitral proceedings, as well as discreet internal reviews for FTSE-listed companies and multinationals. Her practical and strategic mindset has made her a trusted advisor to stakeholders across industries navigating financial crime exposure and enforcement risk.
