Exclusive Legal Expertise with Simon Evenden

KnightRose Resources proudly offers exclusive access to the legal expertise of Simon Evenden LL.B. (Hons), a Solicitor-Advocate with extensive experience across criminal law, fraud, asset recovery, and high-profile legal cases.

Admitted as a solicitor in 1990 (SRA ID: 145180), Simon holds Higher Rights of Audience, allowing him to represent clients in the highest courts of England and Wales. His unparalleled legal acumen has consistently produced results in some of the UK's most complex and notable cases.

Simon Evenden has been involved in numerous high-profile cases throughout his career, including:

• Ultra Vires Case: While still a law student, Simon successfully defended himself in a case involving an access-only road. The case, which he won in the High Court, led to the annulment of 172 by-laws across the UK, with local authorities forced to repay millions in wrongly issued fines. This landmark victory was featured in The Law Society Gazette.

• R v Bevan (Kuji): Simon represented a client accused of hacking into Rome Labs, NASA, and the USA's strategic military systems, an incident which led the US to consider a nuclear strike. His client, acquitted of all charges, was once described as the greatest threat to world peace since Adolf Hitler. This case has garnered international attention and is the subject of an upcoming feature film.

• SFO v Staines: Simon's innovative legal strategies in a £17 million Legal Aid fraud case exposed significant flaws in the prosecution's evidence management, leading to the client's acquittal. The trial, which involved over 17.5 tonnes of legally privileged documents, became the second-longest case in English legal history.

• R v McHugh: Representing a client in a £7 million global tyre fraud, Simon secured a favourable outcome after exposing significant procedural issues.

• R v Fullerlove: In a complex case involving fraudulent EU grants, Simon successfully represented the wife of a renowned boat builder, resulting in her case being discontinued at Crown Court.

• SFO v Raven: Simon achieved an early acquittal for his client in a £750 million worldwide Ponzi fraud case after highlighting critical disclosure issues that the prosecution could not resolve.

• SFO v Evans & Others: In a high-stakes £125 million fraud case, Simon’s client was acquitted upon an application to dismiss. The case became a leading authority on conspiracy to defraud, and Simon secured a £7.5 million costs order against the SFO.

• R v Patel: In a tragic case involving a £1.5 million NHS fraud, Simon’s robust defence statements led the NHS to acknowledge the case would have been discontinued, although sadly, the client committed suicide before this could happen.

• R v Ajaib: Simon successfully secured an acquittal for his client in a £2.9 million property fraud case, despite the conviction of all other defendants.
