2010
R-v-G - we obtained the only "not guilty" verdict for our client in an eight-handed prosecution for conspiracy to import controlled drugs from The Netherlands into the UK. This case was prosecuted by the Serious & Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) using Interpol assistance and involved complex issues of evidence obtained by telephone intercepts outside of the UK.
R-v-Lance Corporal "B" - we successfully defended a serving British Army soldier accused of 2 serious GBH offences. Using careful applications of complex law we were able to present to the jury a wealth of evidence that the police had "overlooked" that undermined the prosecution case. We also presented evidence of our client's good character and military service that won over the jury and secured his verdict of "not guilty" and his freedom.
R-v-"Y, P & L" - Bristol Crown Court - we are currently representing the first defendants ever to be prosecuted by the Office of Fair Trading (OFT) under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008. This case concerns the alleged operation of a so-called "Pyramid Scam" throughout the southwest involving £18,000,000 of alleged losses to participants.

R-v-RR (& others) - Southampton Crown Court - Our VHCC team stepped in to represent a defendant facing drug importation charges. Our timely advice assisted in reducing his sentence dramatically.
R-v-TP (& others) - Bristol Crown Court - In this case we defended in a Customs & Excise (HMRC) prosecution against an alleged gang of tobacco smugglers. The original allegation concerned over £1,000,000 worth of duty evaded tobacco products. After we mounted a legal challenge, the prosecutor accepted that our clients were involved with just £2000 of evaded duty.
2008
R-v-O, J & S - Reading Crown Court & Court of Appeal - Our team successfully resisted a prosecution appeal against a ruling by the trial judge at Reading Crown Court that had "immasculated" the proseution case.
