Craig MacKenzie
A trusted strategic adviser to professionals, business owners, executives, and public figures facing high-stakes allegations and complex investigations.
When an allegation threatens reputation, career, business continuity, and liberty simultaneously, the standard approach to criminal defence is insufficient. The situation requires an adviser who understands that the legal dimension is only one part of the problem.
Craig MacKenzie provides discreet, highly strategic counsel designed to control the narrative, manage intersecting risks, and ideally resolve the crisis before it reaches a courtroom or the public domain.
A Different Approach to Defence
Operating at the intersection of criminal law, regulatory scrutiny, and reputation management, Craig is known for early intervention. The most critical decisions in a case are often made in the hours and days following the initial allegation. Strategic positioning at this stage frequently determines the ultimate outcome.
