The Proceeds of Crime Act (or POCA for short) was introduced in 2003 and was designed to give law enforcement more power to confiscate the proceeds of criminal conduct. We have specialist Proceeds of Crime solicitors on hand to help you with your case.

POCA Rights
If you are under investigation or facing proceedings under the Proceeds of Crime Act, it is important to understand your legal rights.
Our POCA rights page explains what powers the police, HMRC, and enforcement agencies have, what they can and cannot seize, and what rights you have when assets, property, or bank accounts are frozen.
POCA limitations
POCA proceedings are often subject to strict legal deadlines, procedural rules, and limitations which can affect your case.
Our POCA limitations page explains important issues such as limitation periods, timeframes for confiscation proceedings, appeal deadlines, and how delays can affect an investigation or recovery action.
Confiscation proceedings
Confiscation proceedings can have a major impact on your finances, assets, business interests, and future.
Our confiscation proceedings page explains how the process works, how criminal benefit is calculated, what assumptions may be used and how experienced legal representation can help challenge the value of a confiscation order.
What happens after a confiscation order
Confiscation proceedings can be one of the most serious aspects of a criminal case. Following conviction, the prosecution may argue that a defendant has benefited from criminal conduct and should repay that benefit.
Our POCA solicitors can challenge the prosecution’s calculations, dispute alleged criminal benefit, argue against hidden asset assumptions, and help ensure that any confiscation order accurately reflects the available evidence.
Without expert legal representation, confiscation orders can often be significantly higher than they should be.
