Under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA), investigators can freeze or confiscate assets if they believe property is linked to criminal conduct. This may happen even before any conviction is secured. For businesses and individuals, restraint and confiscation orders can be financially crippling if not properly challenged.

Our POCA solicitors have extensive experience defending against asset recovery actions. We negotiate to minimise confiscation amounts, challenge unlawful restraint orders, and protect family assets from being wrongly included. With us, you have strong advocates safeguarding your financial future.
