The POCA Team: Cohen Cramer

The POCA Team: Cohen Cramer. The Proceeds of Crime Act team works exclusively on POCA matters offering a broad range of services from contesting the Prosecution’s case to all ancillary matters, such as applications to reduce amounts owing and getting extra time to pay. Our knowledge and experience allow us to offer services that provide you with the legal advice you need when you need it.

What we can do for you.

We receive instructions not only from clients who we have represented during their criminal proceedings but many others who, as a result of our reputation, want us to deal with their POCA matter after they have been convicted. If required, we deal with any legal aid issues and we can ensure that the transfer of your legal aid to us is as smooth and as trouble-free as possible in what can be a complicated and complex procedure. 

If, once the original confiscation proceedings have concluded, the Prosecution seeks to increase the available amount for recovery, we are here to provide you with the assistance you need.

As well as our expertise in confiscation law, we can also deal with the selling of assets, including, with the assistance of our specialist POCA conveyancing department, residential and commercial property for the purposes of settling confiscation orders. 

We also deal with cross-jurisdictional matters concerning the settlement of confiscation orders.  If you have property or cash held abroad, we have the expertise to assist you. Our expert panel of foreign agents and lawyers assist and support the sale of your property. We also work closely with foreign banks and institutions and prepare the legal documents required for the repatriation of funds.

Where appropriate, we can also represent the interests of family members and third parties affected by confiscation proceedings.  If they have a financial interest in any asset, we can assist them by preparing an application so that their interest is known in court.
