SMW Ranked Band 3 in Chambers and Partners 2026 for POCA Work & Asset Forfeiture

We are proud to announce that Sonn Macmillan Walker has been newly ranked in Band 3 for POCA Work & Asset Forfeiture in the Chambers and Partners 2026 guide.

We are especially pleased to recognise David Bloom, who heads our Financial Crime and POCA team. David’s strategic insight, meticulous approach, and deep understanding of financial crime litigation have played a central role in building this area of the practice and leading us to this achievement. His individual ranking in Band 3 this year is a further testament to his expertise and growing reputation.

This recognition marks an important milestone for our firm and reflects the growing strength of our practice in this complex and highly specialised area of law. From high-value confiscation proceedings to restraint orders and asset recovery disputes, our team consistently delivers expert, strategic advice to clients facing the serious consequences of Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) enforcement.

The Chambers ranking highlights our reputation for handling cases at the intersection of criminal and financial law, where precision, insight, and experience are essential. It also reflects the excellent results we’ve achieved on behalf of individuals and professionals navigating asset forfeiture proceedings — both within criminal litigation and in standalone civil recovery matters.

Our ranking alongside some of the leading firms in this field is a testament to the depth and quality of our work, and the trust placed in us by clients facing some of the most high-stakes and technically demanding proceedings.

We are proud of our team’s achievement and look forward to building on this success.
