POCLA
Welcome to the website of the Proceeds of Crime Lawyers
Association ('POCLA')..
POCLA was established in 2008 to advance, foster and encourage
the exchange of information, education and training, in all matters
relating to the practice of law involving the proceeds of criminal
conduct, including:
the application of best practice in work before the criminal and
civil courts;
- those involved in advising and representing those from whom the
proceeds of criminal conduct is or may be sought;
- those involved in prosecuting cases where the proceeds of
criminal conduct may be recoverable;
- those involved in administering, obtaining or resisting
restraint orders, receivership orders, recovery orders and the
like;
- Government agencies set up from time to time to help recover
the proceeds of crime;
- those involved in the prevention of money laundering.
POCLA draws its membership (both Full and Associate) from a
diverse range of professions and disciplines including Judges,
barristers, solicitors, accountants and insolvency
practitioners.
Since the transfer of criminal proceeds knows no geographical
limits, it is fully intended that membership will also be available
to professionals practising in other jurisdictions around the
world.
The Association's President is Lord Justice Laws.
Bear with us as we work to build a website that is concise,
informative and user friendly. In this regard your feedback
is most welcome.
