About Korn Tlais Defence Lawyers
Korn Tlais Defence Lawyers is a Sydney criminal defence firm. We act for people facing the most serious allegations in the country — and for people who never expected to face any. What they have in common is the outcome matters more than anything else in their lives, and that is how we treat it.
Established Excellence
Our Reputation
Korn Tlais Defence Lawyers is one of Sydney’s most formidable specialist criminal defence firms. Our reputation was forged in the successful Defence of some of the justice system’s most complex and highly publicised prosecutions — matters involving allegations of serious violence, homicide, sexual assault, large-scale drug importation, and financial crimes in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
How We Work
Our Approach
Every criminal prosecution presents a defendant with two real options: a fight for acquittal, or a resolution on the best possible terms. Knowing which course is right — and when that judgment needs to change as a case develops — takes real knowledge, judgement and experience. Our firm takes the role of guide, adviser and protector with the seriousness the stakes require.
Ours is an adversarial system, and the State comes to it with the powers, the resources and the manpower. The defendant has their lawyers — and that is why ours is a firm built to put the prosecution to proof: to test their case at every point, to apply pressure where it tells, and to deploy every resource and tactic available to the defence. It is our duty to get you through this, and to protect your interests at every step.
