POCA Work & Asset Forfeiture

About

Provided by Kangs Solicitors

Kangs Solicitors is recognised as one of the leading specialist POCA and Asset Forfeiture firms in the country undertaking both civil and criminal litigation pursuant to the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.

This national recognition has been built over two decades of conducting restraint and confiscation work which pre-dates the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. It is this level of experience that distinguishes the solicitors at Kangs from many other firms and makes it a market leader.

The team at Kangs is often instructed by individual and corporate clients in relation to Restraint or Freezing Orders. The freezing of worldwide assets and bank accounts can be a daunting experience. Swift and decisive action is required and an immediate dialogue commenced with the prosecuting authority to limit the impact of the restraint proceedings on personal and business assets.

Kangs acts in many civil and criminal POCA proceedings throughout the country. Many cases involve a significant international dimension with recent examples involving Madeira, Thailand, Malta, Dubai, Cyprus, Turkey and Spain.

Kangs appreciates that clients need a proactive approach to such cases and the firm will always look to negotiate tenaciously for an early favourable settlement with the prosecution where possible or, alternatively, prepare a robust challenge to the prosecution authority’s case.
