We are pleased to share that Dan Rogers, Director at Robertson O’Gorman Solicitors, has been recognised in the Doyle’s Guide to the Australian Legal Profession 2026 as a Leading White Collar Crime, Corporate Crime and Regulatory Investigations Lawyer in Australia. This national recognition places Dan among a select group of practitioners regarded as the country’s most capable in the defence of complex corporate and regulatory matters, and it marks a step up from his Recommended listing in the same category in 2025.
About Doyle’s Guide
Doyle’s Guide is one of Australia’s most respected independent legal rankings. Each year it identifies the country’s leading lawyers and firms based on detailed peer review, client feedback and interviews with senior members of the profession. A listing is not paid for or self-nominated. It is earned through consistent results, professional standing, and the recognition of both peers and clients.
Leading in white collar and regulatory crime, Australia 2026
In the 2026 national rankings, Dan Rogers has been named a Leading White Collar Crime, Corporate Crime and Regulatory Investigations Lawyer in Australia. This tier is reserved for practitioners who demonstrate outstanding expertise and leadership in the defence of regulatory investigations, corporate misconduct, fraud, and complex financial crime, including matters involving the Crime and Corruption Commission (CCC), ASIC, the ATO and the ACCC.
Moving from Recommended in 2025 to Leading in 2026 reflects Dan’s growing standing in one of the most technical and high-stakes areas of criminal law, where the consequences reach well beyond the courtroom and into a client’s business, reputation and livelihood.
What these matters involve
White collar and regulatory matters are rarely straightforward. They can begin quietly, with a notice to produce documents or a request to attend an interview, and escalate into a formal investigation or prosecution. For the company directors, executives and professionals who face them, the risk is not only a criminal outcome. It is the future of a career, a registration, a board position and a hard-earned reputation. These clients need more than legal knowledge. They need a strategic adviser who understands how regulators think, how the media operates, and what to do in the critical early stages.
Experience that matters
Dan Rogers holds a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and a Bachelor of Arts, with majors in psychology and criminology, and has more than 20 years of experience in criminal law. He regularly advises and represents clients facing high-profile investigations, prosecutions and disciplinary proceedings at both state and national levels. He is a former Chair of the Queensland Law Society’s Human Rights and Public Law Committee and remains active in law reform and policy. His recognition in Doyle’s Guide reflects a consistent, measured approach to some of the most serious matters a person or business can face.
A First Tier firm, and a team recognised across the board
Dan’s national recognition sits within a strong year for the firm as a whole. Robertson O’Gorman has again been listed as a First Tier Criminal Defence Law Firm in Queensland in Doyle’s Guide 2026, the highest tier in the state and a reflection of more than 40 years defending Queenslanders in serious and high-stakes matters.
Several of the firm’s solicitors were also individually recognised in the 2026 rankings:
- Dan Rogers, Preeminent Criminal Defence Lawyer (Queensland) and Recommended Traffic and DUI Defence Lawyer (Queensland)
- Emma Higgins, Leading Criminal Defence Lawyer (Queensland)
- Evan O’Hanlon-Rose, Recommended Criminal Defence Lawyer (Queensland)
- Jaimee-Lee Jessop, Criminal Law Rising Star (Queensland)
Together, these listings reflect the depth of experience across the team and the firm’s long-standing commitment to careful, ethical and effective representation.
Why this recognition matters to our clients
When your liberty, your business or your professional standing is genuinely at risk, the firm you choose matters. Independent recognition of this kind gives clients confidence that they are working with a team trusted by peers across Queensland and, in Dan’s case, across the country. For us, though, rankings are never the point. The real measure is the outcome we work towards for each client, and the steadiness we bring to people at the most stressful moment of their lives.
Congratulations, Dan
