Our work
The legislation surrounding Proceeds of Crime Act proceedings – money or assets gained by criminals during the course of their criminal activity – can be incredibly complex. We work with our clients to ensure that they fully understand the potential impact these proceedings can have and help to minimise them, allowing our clients to rest assured that proceedings are being dealt with in a proactive and effective manner.
Arrange a consultation:
Our crime department acts on behalf of individuals and businesses right across the North west. We have a strong track record of successfully representing clients who have been a victim or accused of crime. Get in touch with our team of experts to arrange a consultation.
“I can confirm that I have worked very closely with colleagues from MSB, both on a personal and networking level. I have been extremely impressed with regard to their professionalism in handling matters and approachability when dealing with clients.”
Understanding the issue
At MSB, we have a team of specialist lawyers who are highly experienced in representing clients in confiscation proceedings.
Our clients’ best interests are our top priority and we keep the impact of potential confiscation proceedings at the forefront of our minds throughout all Crown Court proceedings. This informs our advice to clients at every step and influences delicate judgement calls to achieve the best possible outcome.
At MSB, we help guide our clients through the legal process, making sure that there are no nasty surprises along the way. For instance, if a client pleads guilty to an offence (or is found guilty after a trial), they will already know what impact confiscation proceedings will have upon them. We will then work with them to ensure that the impact on their lives is minimised.
We have an excellent track record both in reducing benefit figures and the figure for realisable assets upon which the confiscation order is made.
Why MSB?
Our dedicated crime and regulatory team was established in 2003 and has many years’ experience in advising clients on these investigations.
