Forbes have a specialist department which deals exclusively with confiscation, restraint, seizure of assets and the Proceeds of Crime (POCA)
BUSINESS OBJECTIVES ACHIEVED
Proceeds of crime refers to the money and other assets that criminals have gained through their illegal activity. The UK authorities have the power to confiscate these assets, which may be split between various agencies.
The criminal and civil law in relation to the alleged proceeds of crime is complex and difficult, that is why it requires specialist advice from the very start. At Forbes we have a Specialist Department, which deals exclusively with both Criminal and Civil cases.
Forbes Solicitors is different if not unique. We have an expert team that deals exclusively with financial claims made by the State and public agencies. Those claims may follow a prosecution or increasingly Civil proceedings against a client and often with little or no notice.
The department works with our Commercial, Business Crime, Crime and Regulatory departments, providing specialist advice to clients. We pride ourselves in our specialism and are regularly able to provide a comprehensive in-house service. Our reputation extends this service on a National basis. We act for and advise individuals, commercial organisations and limited companies "suspected", "accused" or "convicted", together with anyone caught up in somebody else's wrongdoing, to protect innocent people's property rights. Where necessary and appropriate, specialist Barristers and Forensic Accountants are instructed.
Our expert solicitors can help you and tell you in straight forward terms how your particular problem can be addressed.
We can help you protect your property, assets and your family.
Legal Aid (Representation Order) is available to those charged with a criminal offence.
