Chambers of Simon Denison KC
Criminal set 6KBW College Hill is considered ‘one of the top white collar and corporate crime sets in the country’ with ‘universally excellent counsel’ in the field of proceeds of crime. The set is particularly experienced in overseas applications and has acted in multi-million pound restraint and forfeiture applications from, among others, Egypt, Denmark, Finland and Kuwait. In this vein, David Perry KC is acting for the CPS in the case of Sarah Panitzke, described in the press as "the UK's most wanted woman", who is serving an eight-year sentence for money laundering offences and has an outstanding confiscation order of £2.5m. Jonathan Hall KC represented the National Crime Agency in R (Gater) v Westminster Magistrates Court, a judicial review by the former head of Russia's Alfa-Bank concerning an account freezing order - one of the first cases to consider possible breaches of sanctions against Russian individuals after its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
