The proceedings will be vigorously contested. Leading Counsel Geoffrey Cox QC has been retained.

Richard Cannon acted for Shinder Gangar in landmark case before the Court of Appeal.

Following a trial at Southwark Crown Court a client of Janes Solicitors was acquitted of involvement in a multi–million pound conspiracy to launder the proceeds of drug trafficking. 

Janes Solicitors have successfully challenged on appeal by way of case stated a Confiscation Order which the High Court agreed should be reduced from £692,000 to £92,000. The appeal arose as a direct consequence of recent decisions of the Court of Appeal which substantially revised the legal basis upon which the ‘benefit’ attributable to criminal conduct is calculated.
