Crime Commissions and other coercive tribunals
We have appeared in key Australian cases examining the powers of Crime Commissions relating to proceeds of crime and applications for the forfeiture of assets. We are regularly involved in litigation in the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal and the High Court of Australia, where we are recognised for bringing cases of public importance which examine how the Crime Commission’s powers can impact fundamental principles of criminal law, such as the right to a fair trial and the right against self-incrimination.
We have expertise in:

- State (NSW) Crime Commission law
- ASIC investigations and prosecutions
- ICAC hearings
We appear for people who have been summoned to Crime Commissions anywhere in Australia.
