Proceeds of Crime & Asset Forfeiture

Members of chambers have wide ranging experience of all aspects of asset forfeiture, from restraint proceedings and management receiverships to confiscation and enforcement proceedings.18 Red Lion Court has presented major public seminars on the Proceeds of Crime regime and continues to be a leading chambers in this area.

 

Members are frequently asked to advise on and draft requests for Restraint Orders and the appointment of Management Receivers. Members also regularly appear in the Crown Court to make the more complex Restraint applications.

 

We offer assistance with both straightforward and contested or factually complex asset forfeiture matters. We have proved adept at negotiating the more subtle points of law and procedure, and have made submissions on such issues before the House of Lords and the Court of Appeal.

 

Members of 18 Red Lion Court also advise banks and solicitors’ firms to enable them to comply with the anti-money laundering measures detailed in the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, Terrorism Act 2000 and Money Laundering Regulations 2007.
