Fraud: Asset Forfeiture

QEB Hollis Whiteman is at the cutting edge of legal developments in the detection and prosecution of serious fraud, and in the regulation of financial services. This combination of expertise gives us unmatched strength in the area of asset forfeiture.

Our barristers have significant experience in defending proceedings for worldwide freezing orders, restraint of funds, confiscation and asset forfeiture.

These proceedings can arise:

• before, during and after prosecution of allegations of general crime;
• in relation to serious fraud cases;
• in relation to financial services regulation;
• as a result of action in the High Court, initiated by the Home Office, following a request for assistance made by a foreign state.

Our barristers are fully aware of both the complexity and the sensitivity of this type of litigation and are proud to offer a thoroughly professional, yet sympathetic service.
