Selected criminal defence outcomes, anonymized for privacy.
Below is a partial list of recent outcomes across our sixteen practice areas. Solicitor–client privilege and client privacy prevent us from naming clients or disclosing every engagement. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome — every matter is assessed on its own facts. Several of these outcomes turned on a Charter argument — see Charter defences: when police evidence can be excluded. Each result links to the practice area it belongs to.
