It is vital to obtain urgent legal advice if you have been charged with an offence or think you may be under investigation. The court system and its processes can be incredibly confusing, stressful and overwhelming; let us guide you through it and protect your interests.

We know the courts in the ACT and NSW. Our lawyers have extensive experience in criminal litigation extending from the Magistrates Court to the Appellate level. 

We relieve the burden from you. Our mission is to give you and your family members peace of mind and to offer you the support that you will need during the complicated process.  

We communicate with you promptly and effectively. We provide you with informed advice regarding potential defences, defence strategy and your prospect of success at trial. 

We have developed sound professional relationships with experts. We work with expert psychiatrists, forensic accountants and experts to explore whether defences are available to our clients. 

Our lawyers understand how to work with the media. If protecting your reputation is important, we can issue press releases or provide strategies for dealing with the media.  

We travel internationally to represent Australians charged with offences outside Australia. We are resourceful and are experienced in performing our own investigations abroad and liaising with local police, lawyers and politicians as well as Australian consular staff. Where appropriate, we draw upon our vast international media contacts to raise awareness of unjust prosecutions.  

We vigorously defend extradition cases. We have a sound knowledge of international extradition treaties and Australian laws. Our lawyers have travelled to the former Yugoslavia nations to investigate prosecutions and have had considerable success in seeking meetings with local prosecutors and working cooperatively with foreign lawyers.
