Money laundering is generally defined as the process by which the proceeds of crime are dealt with in such a way so as the proceeds appear to come from a legitimate source.   The introduction of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (“POCA”) broadened the definition of money laundering to encompass the proceeds of any criminal conduct and as such money laundering could arise from, for example, a small profit made from a minor tax evasion or regulatory breach.

As a result of rigorous laws and regulations, companies and individuals may have greater exposure to the risk of prosecution for offences arising out of suspicious financial activity.    We are recognised as market leaders in the field of fraud and white collar crime and have represented clients in numerous money laundering cases including:
