The Daily Telegraph has featured senior associate Robert Candelori as one of Sydney’s best young criminal lawyers.

“For Robert Candelori, growing up in one of Western Sydney’s most famous restaurants was perfect training for a career in criminal law because neither profession operates to a nine to five schedule — and both require a tireless work ethic.
Now one of the best young lawyers in Sydney, the 34-year-old was raised helping his family run Smithfield’s famed Italian eatery Candelori’s.
So when he landed a job as a 19-year-old law student at the firm McGirr and Associates, Candelori was well equipped to be able to handle the gruelling work schedule.
He was admitted to practice as a lawyer in 2015 and has gone on to work on some of the state’s biggest cases.
In 2020, he acted on the case of Valentino Fries, who was found not guilty of attempting to smuggle 1.4 tonnes of cocaine.
This year he is set to work alongside Mr McGirr when the firm defends NRL player Manase Fainu, who has pleaded not guilty to a stabbing in Western Sydney.”
