Serious Fraud & Financial Crime Defence

Clear guidance for individuals, families, and businesses

Being charged with serious fraud or corporate criminal offences carries significant and potentially life-altering consequences. These offences, commonly referred to as “white-collar crimes,” may result in custodial sentences, substantial damage to professional reputation, and the seizure or freezing of assets—including property—under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA).

What we can help you with

Money Laundering

Money laundering offences are governed by the Proceeds of Crime Act. Investigations into the movement and origin of assets often uncover suspected laundering activities, which can lead to further legal proceedings.
