Industrial & Regulatory Offences

In choosing a lawyer to defend a prosecution of this nature it is important to recognize that the battle will ultimately be waged in criminal court. While your company lawyer may be well acquainted with matters of industry regulation, corporate affairs and commercial litigation it is highly unlikely that he/she is well versed in defending criminal prosecutions. In criminal court the rules of evidence, procedure, substantive law and players constantly change.

BOTTOM LINE:

Hire the best Vancouver criminal lawyer that you can find.
