How our team will work with you
Recent years have seen a shift of emphasis by government agencies from prosecutions to ‘following the money’ through the civil courts via asset tracing and freezing, civil recovery and receiving orders.
We have significant experience in this area having acted in some of the largest asset recovery actions over the last few years. We also act in high profile cases before the tax tribunals, in terms of both direct and indirect tax appeals.
We also offer a regulatory compliance service. Our premium compliance advice service ensures clients protect their business and reputation by ensuring that they are aware of and comply with all of their regulatory obligations including those relating to money laundering and bribery.
