Confiscation & Restraint Proceedings solicitors

Confiscation & Restraint Proceedings

If you are investigated or prosecuted for fraud, the investigating authorities will often take measures to freeze your assets with a view to confiscating the profits of any illegal activities. We advise individuals and businesses in relation to confiscation and restraint proceedings. If you or your business is being investigated contact our specialist team of solicitors, headed up by Pamela Reddy and Raj Chada at Hodge Jones & Allen in London NW1, on 0800 437 0080 today.

Such measures can affect you even if you have not been found guilty of a serious fraud. They can also hurt people who are caught up in the proceedings indirectly, for example the spouse or business partner of the person under investigation, since assets can be frozen for a considerable length of time.

Restraining Orders
A restraining order is designed to freeze property which might later be confiscated. This means that you can’t sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of it until the restraining order is lifted. Of concern is that a restraining order can be issued even before an arrest is made and can apply not only to your current property, but also to property you receive once the order is in force, as well as assets which are co-owned with someone else. We can help you:

with applications for variation or discharge of restraining orders;
to negotiate proper living expenses for you and your family.

Confiscation Orders
A confiscation order is only awarded following a conviction. It is intended to make sure that no one benefits from the proceeds of crime. The amount to be confiscated is determined by the court and depends on how much an individual is thought to have derived from criminal activities. We can help you to:

defend your case; and
protect your assets (as much as possible).
