Criminal Litigation & Investigations

Our founding discipline. Four decades of criminal trial experience, from bail to acquittal, in matters that shape precedent and headlines alike.

This is where ANZ Lawz began in 1979, and it remains the discipline every other practice at the firm is built on. Our trial record includes a full acquittal for eleven accused in a multi-victim gang-war case, and a Supreme Court acquittal secured through marathon arguments that dismantled the prosecution’s scientific evidence. We take a case seriously from the FIR stage, not just at trial — early, aggressive intervention is often what decides the outcome months or years later.
