Possession and Supply Charges
Drug Trafficking and Conspiracy Cases
Sexual Offence Allegations

POCA and Confiscation in Drug Cases
We defend clients accused of possession or possession with intent to supply Class A and Class B drugs. Our solicitors challenge the basis of search warrants, forensic reliability, and procedural compliance.
We act in large-scale trafficking and conspiracy investigations, including those based on EncroChat and surveillance evidence. Our defence focuses on digital interpretation errors, chain of custody, and disclosure failings.
We represent individuals facing rape, sexual assault, or sexual communication allegations, including historic or multiple-complainant cases. Each matter is managed discreetly, with careful evidence review and expert witness consultation.
Our solicitors defend allegations relating to child exploitation, indecent imagery, and online communication offences. We manage these cases with strict confidentiality and sensitivity to ensure procedural fairness.
Where drug offences lead to Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) action, we handle confiscation hearings, restraint orders, and asset recovery disputes, protecting clients’ lawful property and finances.

Pre-Charge Legal Advice
Early intervention to influence charging decisions, present exculpatory evidence, and prevent unnecessary prosecutions.
