International enquiries about New Zealand proceeds of crime

Trans-tasman and International enquiries

We have provided services on trans-tasman proceeds matters (Australia/New Zealand) and in respect of international enquiries about New Zealand's proceeds of crime regime.

We have provided services on trans-tasman matters as follows:

Advisory on the New Zealand proceeds of crime regime.

Advisory on extradition between New Zealand and Australia.
'On retainer' stand-by services for clients with 'potential' matters - this is an expensive service because it requires the lawyers involved to 'stay ready', which means we need to continually keep our eye on your file and your movements and circumstances.

We have provided services to international enquirers, including:

Advisory on the New Zealand proceeds of crime regime, including:

Profiling and recommendation of New Zealand criminal defence barristers.

Extradition

Please note, none of the lawyers used under the CPDG banner are experts in extradition. We strongly advise clients seek out a specialist extradition lawyer in the first instance. However, we know some clients/lawyers are more comfortable sourcing information and advice through our service - especially if anonymity is important; if this is the case, we are happy to provide preliminary advisory on extradition with a subsequent recommendation to an extradition expert of our choosing.
