He was called to the Bar in 1981, and is currently a Senior Principal lawyer in the Asset Forfeiture Unit of HM Customs and Excise. Within Customs he has been responsible for the implementation of many of the main developments in this area of law, including the Criminal Justice Act 1988, the Drug Trafficking Act 1994, and will now oversee in his Unit the introduction of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. Mark Sutherland Williams was called to the Bar in 1995 and was awarded the Yarborough Anderson Scholarship and Profumo Scholarship by Inner Temple. In 1996 he was appointed junior counsel in Customs' longest running drugs investigation, Operation Stealer.
