Confiscation, Restraint and Cash Forfeiture
Draconian powers allowing prosecuting authorities to seize assets came in to force in December 2002. The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 marked a renewed determination by the government to confiscate the assets of those the authorities suspect to be guilty of criminal wrongdoing, and it is no longer a requirement for somebody to be convicted of a qualifying offence before such legislation can begin to bite.
Our lawyers have built up considerable experience defending such matters, and we are often asked to advise individuals and third parties who are effected by Restraint Orders granted by a crown court before any charges are laid.
We will assemble a team that is tailor-made to the requirements of your case. This may include senior counsel and leading accountants, and we guarantee you access to the most up-to-date and relevant expertise.
Whether you are the subject of a Restraint Order, facing confiscation proceedings following a criminal conviction or cash forfeiture proceedings in the magistrates’ court, we can make a difference to the final outcome.
