Last week was big at CDLA.

It was a significant week for our team, with our lawyers achieving important life changing results for clients across NSW.

Sydney District Court: Our Senior Lawyer Aj Nagendiram, alongside Managing Associate Ellyse Kwan and instructed Counsel Wali Shukoor, achieved a hung jury for the second consecutive time in a difficult sexual assault trial.

Supreme Court: Our lawyer Cassendra Pinto secured Supreme Court bail for another client, following extensive preparation and strong advocacy.

And while our Sydney team was appearing in the higher courts, our Nicholas Hertel was at Tamworth Court House, where he appeared for a client and achieved an excellent result.

Different courts. Different matters. Different challenges. But the same approach remains at the heart of everything we do: thorough preparation, fearless advocacy and an unwavering commitment to justice for our clients.

We are proud of our team and the work they continue to do for clients throughout NSW.
