Canter Levin & Berg [www.canter-law.co.uk] Canter Levin and Berg are one of the oldest established firms of Solicitors in Liverpool. They have offices in Liverpool City Centre, Kirkby and St Helens. During the course of its evolution, the firm has always been involved in the area of Criminal litigation and has been involved in many high profile Fraud cases in the course of its history. The origins of the firm date back to 1947, when Myer Julius Canter established the Practice in Liverpool City Centre. It was later to merge with a local partnership, Levin and Mannhein. In 1961 Ian Levin’s brother Harry qualified as a Solicitor and joined the Practice as a Partner. He was to become one of the leading Industrial Litigators in Liverpool, renowned for his work relating to dock accidents. In 1967, Alan Berg joined the Practice as a Partner and he became a successful and highly respected Criminal Advocate. In 1978, Myer Canter retired and Alan became Senior Partner. The following year Lee Heaven became a Partner and soon assumed the role of Managing Partner of the Practice, working in tandem with Alan Berg in the management and development of the Practice as a whole. Alan Berg maintained his position of Senior Partner until 1994 when he was appointed Stipendiary Magistrate at the Courts of Manchester and Salford. He has now become a Senior District Judge at Manchester City Magistrates Court. Canter Levin & Berg have continued to expand, and at present there are some 17 Partners and a total of 180 Lawyers and Support Staff located in the five offices in the region. The firm has developed a formidable Commercial Department, headed up by David Percival, together with two other Partners, Martin Malone and Ian Sturgess. Martin specialises in Commercial Litigation, Insolvency and Employment Law, whilst Ian specialises in Conveyancing and Probate. This year, Canter Levin & Berg were appointed to the Fraud Panel. Representing the firm are Bernard Phelan and Phil Moy. Bernard Phelan is the longest serving member of staff in Canter Levin & Berg. He is not only a consultant to the practice, but for the last ten years has also lectured students of the Institute of Legal Executive in Criminal Procedure. He has been based at the Liverpool Office for his entire career and has been involved in many Serious Fraud and high profile criminal trials in the course of his career. These have involved prosecutions by the Inland Revenue, HM Customs & Excise, and the Serious Fraud Office, together with various Commercial & Fraud Departments of Police forces in the North West and other parts of the United Kingdom. Phil Moy is also a Supervisor on the Fraud Panel. Phil joined the practice in 1990, and at that time was a Senior Legal Adviser to the Court’s Service. He has since become a Partner in Canter Levin & Berg and is now Head of the Criminal Department, which encompasses all five offices. He is based at the Liverpool Office. Phil has extensive experience in all matters relating to Serious Fraud and crime. He is regarded as one of the most able Practioners in the City. Both Phil and Bernard have now combined to lead a team of talented Lawyers and Support Staff in servicing this area of Serious Fraud and Litigation.
