The Proceed of Crime and Financial Crime Department (‘the department’) at Imran Khan and Partners was first established in 2012.

The department provides advice and assistance to corporates and individuals across the spectrum of Proceeds of Crime and Financial Crime proceeding and increasingly acts for high net-worth individuals and corporates at the pre-charge investigative stage in relation to orders affecting their ability to deal freely with assets. The work of the department is international.

The key practitioners in the department are Paul O’Donnell and James O'Hara, both Partners and Solicitor Advocates.

Paul has extensive experience in Proceeds of Crime and Financial Crime matters as a litigator, advocate, and adviser. Paul previously spent two and a half years as a financial crime advisor to one of the largest investment banks in the world and is qualified in several jurisdictions, including as an Attorney in New York State and as a Solicitor in Northern Ireland.  

James has extensive experience and is a published subject matter expert: 'The Confiscation Manual', was published in 2015 by Sweet & Maxwell. James has acted in some of the most important cases in this area of law.

The department adopts a strategic and tactically astute approach and compliments its in-house expertise with close and trusted working relationships with leading Counsel and a bank of trusted expert consultants.
