Our barristers understand that charges related to drugs can lead to criminal charges and imprisonment in more serious cases. A criminal conviction, even for simple possession, may have serious consequences for a client’s personal and professional life. Barristers at AP Berkeley will work tirelessly to secure the best outcome and ensure that our clients are properly advised at every stage.

We recognise that drug cases can encompass:

– Cultivation and production of illegal drugs
– Drug importation
– Manufacture or supply of a controlled substance
– Possession with intent to supply
– Possession of psychoactive substances
– Simple personal possession

Some of these cases may be on a small scale, while others will be on a commercial scale and involve many months of investigative work by the police, including a large number of individuals in the UK and potentially abroad. As the techniques used by authorities to investigate serious organised crime, particularly in the illegal drugs trade, have evolved, our team has kept pace.

Our barristers can represent clients at all levels of the justice system. They utilise their expertise, gained from experience, to cross-examine and critique experts, analyse and utilise the investigation material wherever possible to the benefit of the client.

Barristers at AP Berkeley are not hesitant to advance complex arguments when needed or fearlessly represent their client. Whether it is a case of simple possession or a large-scale commercial multi-handed conspiracy, our barristers have the knowledge and experience to deal with all aspects of the case efficiently and with maximum effect.
