Three Raymond Buildings is equipped to comfortably handle a variety of work related to restraint, confiscation and civil recovery proceedings, including advice on search and seizure orders, and receivership applications. Hugo Keith KC continues to represent a Russian oligarch challenging sanctions-related account freezing orders, while also acting in high-profile proceedings relating to offshore companies beneficially owned by the granddaughter of former Uzbekistan president Islam Karimov. Jonathan Ashley-Norman KC is instructed in R v Mazzarello, a case where the defendant is in custody in Italy, and fights £50m confiscation proceedings, which extend to Swiss trusts and hidden Lichtenstein bank accounts. With a specialism in cross-border work, and particularly in mutual legal assistance issues, Nicholas Yeo recently represented the defendant in appeal proceedings against a confiscation order after a fraud conviction regarding conduct that caused millions of pounds in damage.
