Crime relating to money, assets and cryptocurrency can be hard hitting and involve international and cross border transactions. Individuals and businesses could find themselves subject to court orders initially without their knowledge, restricting movement of anything with value. Police and other organisations regularly use Proceeds of Crime legislation to seize and restrain what they believe to be the product of illegal activities. Nicholls & Nicholls have assisted and represented clients accused of large-scale financial offences that span into their billions. These types of cases are highly complex and require the expertise of lawyers who specialise in this area. Nicholls & Nicholls are those lawyers.
