The team of criminal barristers at St Pauls Chambers are specialists in advice and advocacy across the full range of drug offences, including importing, producing, distributing, supplying and possessing all classes of drugs.

What are the UK Drug Laws?

Charges under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 vary from possession of an illegal drug to large-scale drug trafficking operations.

Prosecution of drug offences will often rely on a range of supporting evidence, including mobile phone data, cash and financial records, and expert evidence. Our specialist criminal law team are adept in examining and carefully analysing this evidence.

Many serious drug-related cases are multi-handed in that there are several accused parties being tried at the same time. Barristers at St Pauls are experienced in handling multi-defendant conspiracy trials, which can be extremely complex and can last for many months.

Explore the expertise of our specialist drug offence barristers, Jonathan Sandiford and Denise Breen-Lawton, acclaimed for their success in prosecuting a multi-million-pound drugs conspiracy case. Or contact our clerk team today to benefit from comprehensive legal support.
