08. Civil Forfeiture Defence
Vancouver, BC
We provide strategic defence against government overreach, protecting your assets and rights in civil forfeiture cases.

Civil forfeiture cases involve the government seeking to seize property alleged to be connected to unlawful activity, often without criminal charges being laid. At Reedman Law, we understand the significant personal and financial stakes involved in these cases and are committed to providing a strong and strategic defense.
We have extensive experience litigating against government bodies, including the Canada Revenue Agency, securities regulators, and both provincial and federal authorities.
Civil forfeiture proceedings, in particular, often lead to significant financial challenges, such as business disruptions and strained relationships with lenders and other creditors. We have experience managing these relationships with lenders during civil forfeiture proceedings.
Our services include:
01. Challenging Forfeiture Claims
Examining and disputing the evidence linking your property to alleged unlawful activity.
02. Defending Property Ownership Rights
Representing individuals and businesses in asserting their lawful ownership and opposing forfeiture applications.
03. Negotiating Settlements
Exploring pragmatic solutions to resolve forfeiture disputes avoiding prolonged litigation when it serves our clients' best interests.
04. Court Advocacy
Litigating complex forfeiture cases in court to safeguard client rights and assets. We are experienced litigators with extensive experience at all levels of court in British Columbia and at the Supreme Court of Canada.
