Andrew Mitchell QC
He's clearly notable, but the current version is too promotional.
 * "Career", apart from when he was called to the bar, basically says what he is doing now, not even a date of birth or his education is included, which suggests that neutral and comprehensive biography is not what was intended.
 * is an acclaimed expert on the law of financial crimes. He has represented the prosecution as well as the defence in several landmark cases around the world, in various jurisdictions. &mdash; unsourced spam
 * He has been called the ‘Godfather of the Area’, the King of Proceeds of Crimes Act and is considered to be a leading authority on the subject of asset recovery. &mdash; according to the source, which is... his chambers!

I'm not prepared to restore as it stands, but I can sandbox it for you to make more comprehensive and less spammy if you wish

Your suggestion re sandboxing it, and allowing me to rewrite it is extremely fair. Please do it; and I am happy to defer to your judgment on the amended version.

I'll post the deleted text here shortly. Note that you should recreate at the previous title Andrew Mitchell (QC) rather than at Andrew Mitchell QC. We don't have qualifications as part of the title, so it's parenthesised as an occupational tag to distinguish him from eg Andrew Mitchell (diplomat). When you are ready, use the move tag rather than cut-and-paste. Let me know if you want me to take a look or if you run into problems  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:42, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I've mad a couple of formatting tweaks such as bolding first occurence of name, publications without repeated title and in reverse chronological order. You will need to add categories when you recreate, but not yet&mdash;a bot will remove them while it's sandboxed  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:50, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
 * and it's crime, not crimes, in the act  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:55, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
