11 Sep Episode 46 – You need a criminal lawyer
You wouldn’t want yourself or your business to be involved in a crime, but what do you do if you are? That’s when you get a criminal lawyer. My guest this week is Brett Tait a criminal attorney at Tait Lawyers, a general legal practice with over 45 years of service and over 100 years of experience between five lawyers. Brett discusses legal matters pertaining to a variety of criminal offenses. He shares what it was like to work in tax and investment banking and what eventually made him follow his father’s footsteps. He also describes the experience of representing a murderer as well as some of the more ordinary cases he has handled.
Don’t miss this week’s segment of Reuben’s Rant where I react to the concept of political uncertainty in Canberra and how it is affecting business confidence.
