Criminal Litigation

At Edward Ng & Partners, our Criminal Litigation team is committed to defending the legal rights of individuals and businesses facing criminal investigations or charges. We combine deep legal knowledge, strategic advocacy, and client-focused service to support you through every stage of the criminal justice process.

Services We Provide

1. Case Evaluation & Consultation
   We assess the facts, evidence, and legal issues of your case. We help you understand the charges you face, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses, and advise on possible legal strategies.

2. Investigation & Evidence Support
   We assist in gathering and analysing relevant evidence, such as police reports, forensic data, witness statements, and expert reports. We also engage with specialists (e.g., forensic experts) to build a robust defence.

3. Pre-Trial Representation
   We represent clients during remand hearings, bail applications, and other pre-trial stages. We help you navigate procedural matters, file the necessary applications, and advocate for conditions favorable to your release or minimal detention.

4. Trial Advocacy
   Our lawyers are experienced in delivering full courtroom representation, including opening and closing statements, cross-examination of witnesses, and presenting your defence. We develop a tailored trial strategy to challenge the prosecution’s case.

5. Negotiation & Plea Bargaining
   When appropriate, we engage in negotiations with the prosecution to seek reduced charges or more favorable sentencing. We draft mitigation pleas and make submissions that highlight relevant personal or case-specific factors.

6. Sentencing
   If convicted, we argue for the most favorable sentence by presenting mitigating circumstances, assessing risk factors, and advocating for alternatives to harsh penalties.

7. Appeals & Post‑Conviction Relief
   We handle appeals to higher courts and post-trial applications, including judicial review or habeas corpus, where relevant. We work to overturn wrongful convictions or reduce unjust sentences.

8. Preventive Detention & Special Offences
   We handle cases under special legislation such as preventive-detention laws. Our team advises and defends clients under statutes that carry serious procedural or substantive implications.

9. White‑Collar & Corporate Crime
   We defend clients accused of financial crimes like fraud, embezzlement, corruption, or money laundering. We also advise businesses on regulatory compliance, enforce internal investigations, and negotiate with enforcement bodies.

10. Serious & Organised Crime
    Our experience includes representation in high-stakes criminal matters such as homicide, weapons offences, kidnapping, and organised crime.

11. Drug‑Related Offences
    We defend clients in drug possession, trafficking, and consumption cases. We scrutinize forensic procedures, challenge lab reports, and argue complex legal points under applicable drug laws.

12. Sexual & Violent Crimes
    We provide sensitive and strong representation in cases involving sexual offences, assault, and other violent crimes. We ensure a fair process and vigorously defend your rights.

13. Traffic & Road Offences
    We represent clients facing traffic-related prosecutions, including serious road offences. We negotiate, mitigate, and defend to minimize the legal and personal impact.

14. Death Inquest & Coroner’s Cases
    We represent clients in inquest proceedings to safeguard serious legal interests. Whether acting for families or persons of interest, we prepare trusted submissions and representation during investigations.

15. Anti‑Corruption & Regulatory Crimes
    We offer defence and advice in corruption cases, including investigations, enforcement actions, and litigation under anti-corruption laws.
