Drug Trafficking
We have appeared in a large number of high profile cases that attract both national and international media attention.
We have particular experience in providing advice and representation to those charged with all types of drug trafficking offences, including investigations by HM Revenue & Customs, the various police agencies, Serious Organised Crime Agency and overseas law enforcement agencies.
We are able to provide prompt and effective advice at the point of arrest through to trial and confiscation. From the outset we put together an experienced team of solicitors, barristers, and relevant experts who are leaders in this field.
On a practical level, we are experienced with negotiating with both prosecutors, and management receivers to ensure both your family and your businesses can continue to function pending trial.
Investigation of Drug Trafficking offences in recent years has resulted in prosecuting authorities utilising a wide range of techniques including covert surveillance, and mobile phone tracking (known as cell-site analysis). Our experienced staff have dealt with many cases involving these techniques. They are fully aware of the intricate legislation governing their authorisation and how the results of such techniques should be interpreted. We also instruct expert witnesses in this field to test the prosecution evidence.
