About
Whilst working as in-house legal consultant to the Turkish Consulate General, Anne worked on more than a thousand different cases.

She also acted as a negotiator in the Joint Committee between the Home Office and the Turkish Government on the ECAA regulations relating to Turkish Citizens in Britain.
Anne is known for her empathy in dealing with clients, and for giving clear and helpful assessments as to the best way forward out of difficult situations. Her main interests lie with commercial disputes and family law. Outside these areas of law, Anne is always willing to consider any enquiry. Fluent in English and Turkish, she is happy to help in cross-border matters both as a consultant and as a counsel.

Privacy Notice
This privacy notice explains how, why and for how long Anne Shankland will process or retain your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
If Anne has been instructed by you, your litigation friend, your solicitor or agent, or through a pro bono referral, it is necessary to process your personal data in order to provide legal services. This may include advising on the prospects of litigation, advising on the value of a claim, representation at hearings or trial, and reviewing legal issues or evidence.
Recipients of your data
Depending on the nature of your case, data may be shared with courts and tribunals, your solicitors or agents, witnesses, experts, other legal representatives, ombudsmen or regulators, education and examining bodies, and current, past or prospective employers.
Special categories of data
Some matters require processing special category personal data, including information about health, ethnicity, religion, trade union membership, political beliefs, sexual orientation, or criminal allegations and convictions. Such data will only be processed where necessary to represent you or advise on your claim.
Retention
Your personal data will be retained for no longer than necessary and, where possible, anonymised. In general, records relating to cases are retained for at least six years to comply with professional obligations under the Bar Code of Conduct and tax record-keeping obligations.
Once your case has concluded and any fees have been paid, only the personal data necessary for regulatory compliance, conflict checking, defence of complaints or fee disputes, and reference in future similar cases will be retained.
Your rights
You may request confirmation that your personal data is being processed, request a copy of that data, request rectification of inaccurate data, object to certain processing, request restriction of processing, or request erasure where the GDPR permits it. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time, although doing so may mean Anne can no longer provide the legal services requested.
Security
Appropriate physical and technical measures are taken to safeguard your personal data and prevent unauthorised access, accidental loss, misuse or disclosure.
