Practice

Criminal Defence

Representation of the accused at every stage of criminal proceedings, conducted on the record and without promises about outcome.

Scope

What the chambers handle

Criminal work is fact-specific. What follows describes the general shape of the practice, not advice on any particular case.

Pre-arrest and post-arrest bail applications where available on the facts, prepared with the record and the relevant sections in view.

Conduct of trial from framing of charge to final arguments, with attention to the prosecution record and cross-examination.

Appellate and revisional work against conviction or sentence, and against orders passed during proceedings, where maintainable.

Constitutional and statutory challenges to proceedings where the law permits, taken only where the facts genuinely support it.
