Asset and Tax Recovery Group

Sheena specialises in cases involving restraint and/or confiscation proceedings in which a conflict arises between the interest of the Crown in satisfying a confiscation order and the interest of a former spouse applying under the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 or as a parent under Schedule 1 of the Children Act 1989. She is frequently instructed by the Crown Prosecution Service as well as having acted for Receivers and Applicants for ancillary relief. This work has involved dealing with several types of third party interest, arguments on living expenses and the relationship between the relevant criminal and matrimonial legislation.

 She has also acted in claims by third parties asserting an interest through the Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996 in assets subject to restraint and/or considered available for confiscation.

Sheena presents seminars on the relationship between ancillary relief and the proceeds of crime legislation both directly to solicitors at their offices and at events such as the POCLA confiscation forum and the CLT ancillary relief conference.
