areas of prosecution
and defence work.
Ranging from the small seizures to
multi million pound applications,
members act for both applicants and
respondents in forfeiture hearings.
Chambers can offer counsel who have
an expertise in this notoriously difficult
and constantly developing field.
Confiscation proceedings pervade
criminal hearings, especially since
the implementation of the Proceeds
of Crime Act. Almost inevitably the
prosecution will seek the recovery of
criminal assets with often devastating
affects on the defendant. An in-depth
knowledge of the workings and
application of POCA is crucial and
fortunately, members can provide this
knowledge. Due to regular instructions
from leading defence solicitors, the
CPS and HM Revenue and Customs,
counsel from 4 Breams Buildings have
conducted lengthy and high profile confiscation hearings for both the
Crown and the defence.
Members of chambers have appeared
as leading juniors and juniors alone
in some of the most serious money
laundering cases in the recent years.
We are able to provide experts for
both the prosecution and the defence
who have a wealth of experience.
