POCA Work & Asset Forfeiture - All Circuits
What the Team is Known For
Matrix Chambers receives plaudits for its "excellent reputation" and strength in POCA proceedings, and houses individuals who are no strangers to the Court of Appeal and Supreme Court. Members act for prosecutors, individuals and corporations in civil recovery, confiscation and enforcement proceedings, and have great expertise in money laundering cases. The set's POCA practice is global in nature, with members having handled cases not only in the UK but also in Hong Kong, New Zealand, Guernsey, Mauritius and the Caribbean. Members recently acted in defence of Bernie Ecclestone against POCA proceedings arising in connection with alleged tax fraud.
Alison Scanes is the senior practice manager.
