Work highlights
- The firm represented a private individual as one of the defendants in a case brought before Birmingham Crown Court alleging his involvement in facilitating the movement of vulnerable children and transporting them to various locations around the country in order to deal drugs on behalf of the Castro line. Notably, this case was the first child trafficking conviction under the Modern Slavery Act as part of a county lines operation.
- This client was prosecuted in relation to allegations of modern slavery across the north of England and Scotland. Referred to to the firm by a family member (who it had also represented), it was able to take over conduct of the matter on the eve of trial due to its familiarity with these types of proceedings. Issues included jurisdiction, exclusion of prejudicial evidence and directions to the jury.
- Defending a client accused of being involved in a conspiracy to supply Class A drugs and a conspiracy to rob. The case involved an extensive covert police operation of alleged drugs gangs between Nottingham and Leicester, and allegations that gangs responsible for the supply of Class A drugs combined forces to kidnap and rob members of competing drug-dealing enterprises.
- Representing the client in a trial set for June 2019 before the Birmingham Crown Court in which the client faces an allegation of conspiracy to supply over 100 kilos of cannabis with a financial value of £500,000.
