How can we help?

Our proactive, experienced, and highly intelligent Criminal Defence Solicitors can assist you with:

  • Fraud
  • Terrorism
  • Proceeds of Crime Proceedings (POCA)
  • Unexplained Wealth Orders
  • UN, EU/US/UK Sanctions (including removal from designated lists)
Terrorism
UK terrorism laws are highly complex: there are at least five Acts of Parliament (including the Terrorism Act 2000) and several Regulations and Orders providing counter-terrorism powers and creating terrorism offences. Our multi-lingual Criminal Defence Solicitors have the knowledge and experience required to defend allegations of terrorism and challenge search warrants, freezing orders, and pre-charge detentions.
If you have been convicted of a corporate crime, you may face confiscation proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA). These proceedings are designed to determine how much you financially benefitted from the crime or crimes you have been convicted of. If the Court rules that you have benefited, it can make a confiscation order to reclaim some of the benefits you received. The prosecution is known to inflate the ‘benefit’ amount a Defendant received from their ‘criminal lifestyle’. We are quick to spot this tactic and will challenge the Prosecution on the amount they have quoted with the aim if reducing the figure, thereby potentially saving you thousands of pounds.

Unexplained Wealth Orders (UWO) is a civil, as opposed to criminal power, that can be made even if no criminal prosecution has been instigated. They are used by prosecuting authorities such as the Director of Public Prosecutions, the Serious Fraud Office, the National Crime Agency, HM Revenue and Customs, the Crown Prosecution Service, and the Financial Conduct Authority against either a Politically Exposed Person (PEP) or someone for whom there are reasonable grounds to suspect involvement in serious crime. Anyone issued with a UWO must explain how they funded the purchase of a particular asset or assets. If an acceptable answer, backed up by evidence, is not provided, the asset may be considered “recoverable property” for the purposes of a Civil Recovery Order under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA). If you are issued with an UWO, our Solicitors will use all their knowledge and connections to challenge the issuing of the Order and have it removed.

If you have been designated on a prescribed sanctions list or require legal advice regarding trading in a country subject to UK, EU, US, or UN sanctions, our multi-lingual Solicitors have the required knowledge of international and commercial law to advise and represent you. We can also assist you in cases where your assets have been frozen following being added to a designated list.

Legal matters concerning child abduction requires the advice and representation of a Solicitor who is swift, proactive, and understands not only the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (Hague Convention) but also how to successfully handle cases where a child has been abducted to a country that is not a signatory to the Convention. Languages spoken by our team include English, French, and Arabic and we act for clients trying to get their child returned and for ‘abductees’ who want to defend the compulsory return of their child under the Convention.
