Witness Assistance
We assist individuals as their witness counsel in judicial proceedings, in internal investigations and before parliamentary investigation committees. We help witnesses to feel confident in complex investigations so they are able to present their statements appropriately.
Our advice includes examination of whether an obligation to testify exists at all or whether it would be appropriate to invoke a possible right to refuse to give evidence or provide information.
Without access to files and evidence, witness counsel must prepare their clients for the interrogation situation. This includes anticipating any critical questions. In this context, we are able to draw upon our wealth of experience and expertise.
