White-collar and Financial Crime
The White-collar and Financial Crime Department is led by Simeon Muir, a Partner, who rejoined the firm after practising at a specialist financial crime firm in the City of London. Simeon is experienced in the full spectrum of financial cases, having acted for both domestic and international companies as well as high net worth individuals.
Simeon is known for his ruthlessness in fighting clients’ cases and his ability to advise and act in complicated and fast-paced cases which are often of high value. He recently represented an international company in an Account Freezing Order case brought by the National Crime Agency, where £22 million was frozen in a bank account. This case is widely considered to be the highest value contested Account Freezing Order case heard in England and Wales.
Hine Solicitors carries out “City” quality work but prides itself on being able to offer more economic fee structures for clients than firms based in central London. Consequently, we are well placed to represent individuals facing frozen bank accounts and other financial crime cases. We are mindful that these types of cases often have an instant and highly restricting effect on a client’s financial resources and bear this in mind with our fees structure as well as acting with speed when instructed to resolve matters as quickly as possible.
We are able to offer fixed-fee initial consultations. The consultation will help you understand your position and allow you to make an informed decision about what action to take in your case. We will be able to advise on what further work may be required, potential outcomes, prospects of success and provide bespoke quotations for the work that may be required.
