He advises and appears for prosecuting authorities, defendants, and alleged offenders, along with interested parties, in restraint and confiscation proceedings. Recent instructions include acting for the prosecutor in proceedings leading to the making of a £93m order.

He is frequently instructed in proceedings involving the appointment of receivers for the purpose of enforcing orders under POCA and also the pre-2002 legislation.
