A well-executed defence doesn’t begin at trial—it starts the moment you’re charged or under investigation. Strategy development is the backbone of every successful criminal case.
Effective defence begins with a clear strategy. Every case—regardless of the charge—requires a customized plan that aligns with the facts, legal framework, and your personal circumstances. Our approach to defence strategy development starts with a detailed case review, including police disclosure, witness statements, and all available evidence. From there, we map out tactical options: whether that means pursuing withdrawal, negotiating a favourable resolution, or building toward a strong trial defence. Thoughtful planning from the outset can mean the difference between a criminal record and a clean slate.
Popular questions
What is a defence strategy, and why does it matter?
A defence strategy is a plan for how your case will be approached—from negotiations and disclosure review to trial tactics. It ensures your defence is proactive, not reactive.
When should a defence strategy be developed?
Immediately. The earlier we get involved, the more control we have over how evidence is preserved, how bail is handled, and how we position your case with the Crown.
Do all cases go to trial?
No. A strong defence strategy may lead to early withdrawal, a peace bond, or a favourable plea—avoiding trial altogether. That said, we always prepare with trial readiness in mind.
What happens if new evidence comes up later?
Strategies evolve. If new facts emerge—favourable or not—we reassess and pivot quickly to ensure your case remains strong and well-defended.
