Notable cases

Represented a client who was said to have operated a “gun factory”, where he converted replica firearms into working firearms and manufactured ammunition and silencers. Items manufactured by him were linked to 28 shootings across the country, including one murder, four attempted murders, nine other shootings and an armed robbery.


Our client was accused of conspiring to supply firearms. Firearms had been seized from his home address. We were successfully able to show the Crown’s case was incorrect and, as a result, secured our client’s acquittal.


We represent a client alleged to have been involved in buying, selling and transferring multiple firearms and ammunition imported from mainland Europe, mainly Bulgaria and Germany. The Crown alleged that our client was part of a very large, sophisticated and organised crime network, which also involved the importation of Class A drugs for commercial gain.
