Brisbane Disciplinary Law Lawyers

For professionals, public servants, and licensed individuals in Brisbane, a criminal charge or a complaint to a regulatory body can trigger disciplinary proceedings that threaten your entire career. Even where criminal charges are withdrawn or dismissed, the disciplinary process may continue independently. You need a lawyer who understands both criminal law and the disciplinary framework relevant to your profession.

Hannay Criminal Defence’s Brisbane criminal lawyers provide specialist legal representation for professionals facing disciplinary proceedings across a wide range of industries and regulatory bodies. We understand the intersection between criminal law and professional regulation, and we fight to protect both your freedom and your livelihood. We don’t miss a trick.

The Intersection of Criminal Law and Disciplinary Law

A criminal charge often triggers a parallel disciplinary investigation. The outcomes of one process can significantly affect the other. For example, admissions made in a disciplinary context may be used in criminal proceedings, and vice versa. Our lawyers coordinate your defence across both streams to avoid unintended consequences and ensure a consistent strategy.

We also regularly assist clients attending coercive hearings before bodies such as the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) and the CCC.

Why Choose Hannay Criminal Defence?

Our experienced team has the expertise to handle both the criminal and disciplinary aspects of your matter. We understand that for many of our clients, the disciplinary consequences of a charge can be even more devastating than the criminal penalties.

We also handle disciplinary matters on the Gold Coast.
