Whether you have been arrested or summoned, our dedicated team is committed to leveraging our deep knowledge of the law and court procedures to secure the best possible outcome for you.
Forfeiture and Cash Detention
Our legal team specialises in advising businesses and individuals affected by asset seizure and forfeiture orders, particularly those involving funds held in bank accounts. Our expertise encompasses account freezing and cash seizure orders, as well as providing advice on restraint, with a focus on affected third parties.
​
The increasing priority placed on tackling illicit finance has led to the frequent use of account freezing orders by UK law enforcement agencies. This power, which allows freezing funds for up to two years without an ongoing criminal investigation, can have significant financial and reputational consequence, impacting other banking relationships.
​
Our lawyers are skilled at guiding clients through these challenges, assessing risks, formulating effective strategies, and presenting compelling evidence to discharge such orders.
