Gagan Pannu

Approach.

Gagan does not run a volume practice. He takes a small number of files at any one time and personally handles every appearance, every disclosure review, and every Charter argument on each of them. His clients are people whose lives are about to be reshaped by a criminal allegation — first-time accuseds, professionals with licences at risk, parents facing custody implications, drivers whose work depends on their permits. He believes that the most important thing a defence lawyer can do is prepare so thoroughly that the Crown's case never gets to test his client. The result is a practice built on disclosure-driven negotiation, Charter litigation where appropriate, and trials that are tried — not pleaded.
