Criminal Law Committee
The Criminal Law Committee provides a forum for members from various countries and criminal justice systems to meet, exchange views, and monitor developments in criminal law. The Committee focuses on transnational and international issues. The Committee keeps members informed through newsletters and rapporteurs. The member listings, organised by location and practice area, allow for case referrals, cooperation in transnational criminal cases, and the exchange of professional experiences. This platform also offers opportunities for members to assist one another in transnational criminal law matters and share expertise in related cases.

As an Australian based criminal law practice, our firm has acted on behalf of clients in a number of finalised court cases and current investigations on behalf of corporate entities arising in countries such as Indonesia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea and Singapore where many of these companies are domiciled. This work is generally done independently of the commercial law firms who act for the clients and involves a lot of careful thought and strategic design at an early stage.

Silver bullet or Trojan Horse? INTERPOL’s new Silver Notice and the risks of asset tracing
On 10 January, INTERPOL issued its first-ever Silver Notice, marking a significant evolution in its approach to international asset tracing. The request, initiated by Italy, seeks to identify and locate assets allegedly linked to a senior mafia figure. While its immediate impact may be largely symbolic, the introduction of the Silver Notice signals an important development in cross-border financial crime enforcement.
