Money Laundering
Even when you are scrupulous in your business dealings, it is still possible to become an involuntary vehicle for money-laundering. It is best practice to report large sums of money received to the authorities if you could be seen to benefit in any way from the transaction, as it may be deemed to constitute criminal activity. Neumans can rapidly evaluate the situation and advise whether disclosure to the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) is appropriate. We have extensive experience in representing businesses and individuals prosecuted for money-laundering offences and always approach the issue prudently and confidentially.
Civil & Criminal Fraud
We represent and advise on a broad range of fraud-related litigation, including international and domestic asset tracing and recovery; emergency applications for freezing and search orders; claims involving allegations of dishonesty, breach of fiduciary duty, conspiracy, misfeasance, corruption or money laundering; trust litigation where fraud is involved or suspected; restraint and confiscation orders under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002; and representation in proceedings brought by Government Agencies. Our experience enables us to advise on the civil and criminal implications of all these issues.
Neumans is also well versed in defending clients in Serious Fraud Office (SFO) investigations. We offer expert advice and representation in all aspects of SFO investigations, including compulsory questioning, search powers, confiscation and freezing orders.
Customs & Tax Investigations
In 2004, the Inland Revenue and HM Customs & Excise departments merged to become the Independent Revenue and Customs Prosecutions Office which is now responsible for all prosecutions. Our extensive customs and tax expertise includes areas such as prosecutions for tax evasion, conspiracy to defraud, duty evasion and money-laundering. We also provide advice and representation on HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC), VAT, and Department of Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform (BERR) investigations.
