Areas of Expertise
The lawyers at Federal Chambers have significant experience across a broad range of litigation and dispute resolution issues and have access to experienced experts and rehabilitation providers.
Bail and EM Bail
Securing bail on fair and reasonable terms is vitally important to all defendants.
Discharge Without Conviction
Sometimes the punishment can be worse than the crime itself if the consequences of a conviction outweigh the seriousness of the offence.
Drugs Charges
Low-level drug charges might be dealt with quickly but major drugs charges are complex, involve a lot of evidence and take significant expertise including scientific and digital forensic experts.
Violence / Sexual Violence
Violence and sexual violence cases require particular skill and care involving issues like identification, medical expertise and psychiatry whether its a low level assault, homicide or sexual violation.
Name Suppression
Sometimes the threat of publication or media interest is worse than the actual charge itself. Name suppression is an ever evolving area of law and requires clear evidence and compelling submissions.
Fraud
Traffic
Driving is something we all do but it is dangerous and losing a licence can upend a person’s entire life. Traffic prosecutions range between manslaughter, drink drive, driving while disqualified and limited licences and the lawyers at Federal Chambers all have significant experience in traffic law.
Proceeds of Crime / General Civil Litigation
Asset restraint and forfeiture can be a terrifying experience – and you do not even need to be charged with a crime. The lawyers at Federal Chambers have in-depth experience in this area as well as in general civil litigation such as employment, family law, health disciplinary matters and contractual disputes.
