Divorce Settlement

To ensure you are getting a fair distribution, it is paramount to have these disclosures examined by an expert to uncover suppression of income or assets.

Whether it would be in the form of carrying out a financial investigation, expert representation or business valuation, our team of experts cover all aspect of divorce settlement.

Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA) cases

The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA) allows the National Crime Agency (NCA) powers to recover assets and income which they suspect to have been earned through unlawful activities

Our team of experts have extensive experience in responding to section 16 POCA notices, cash seizure and confiscation of assets and will always aim to achieve the best results for our clients.

There have been many cases where we have obtained immunity from prosecution for our clients and allow them an opportunity to make disclosure through HMRC's Contractual Disclosure Facility (CDF).

In other cases, we have been able to greatly reduce the confiscation amounts and have used our expertise and experience to protect our client's interest. When faced with a POCA enquiry, not getting the right specialist to represent you may mean that you end up being prosecuted.
