Majed Kheir (Jnr) is a Criminal Defence Lawyer who commenced employment with Kheir Lawyers in 2017. Majed has amassed a vast amount of experience across a significant spectrum of practice areas in a short amount of time.
Majed offers a unique skillset to his clients as a solicitor-advocate which allows him to either represent clients in hearings and trials himself or, where appropriate, brief a diverse range of highly qualified barristers, including some of Sydney’s leading senior and junior counsel. This dynamic approach has contributed to outstanding outcomes for clients charged with a range of offences from domestic violence, weapons offences, major traffic offences and serious drug matters including importation and supply.
Since 2023, Majed has volunteered for the NSW Legal Observers in providing pro bono legal advice and representation to individuals charged at pro-Palestinian protests. More recently, Majed represented an individual charged at such a protest which ultimately resulted in a challenge regarding the constitutional validity of the legal provisions with which the client was charged. The outcome of the challenge has been published and is available on NSW Caselaw.
Majed regularly appears in the Local, District and Supreme Courts of New South Wales, advising and appearing for clients in the following matters:
- Drug trafficking, supply and possession
- Domestic Violence
- All level of traffic offences from license suspension appeals to street racing and police pursuits
- Terrorism Offences
