The Proceeds Practice
Recent developments in Proceeds of Crime law both at a domestic, national and international level has signified that a multi-disciplinary approach is often required. Such an approach is unusual in law but common in other professional endeavours. Some proceeds of crime matters require defined accounting skills and in this regard the skills required may be that of an investigative accountant or those of a Chartered Accountant/registered auditor.
Other matters may require, from a legal perspective the skills of an investigative solicitor whilst the skills of Counsel experienced in this area of law will compliment whatever work accountants and solicitors can contribute.
Having regard to the above, on a case-by-case basis a determination will be given as to whether a multi-disciplined approach is appropriate. In these circumstances, the following people may be recommended, having regard to their particular skills.
