Conspiracy to supply drugs is a serious offence under English law, involving an agreement between two or more parties to distribute controlled substances such as Class A (e.g., cocaine, heroin) or Class B drugs (e.g., cannabis, amphetamines). Given the gravity of these offences, individuals accused often face severe penalties, including substantial prison sentences if convicted.
At Sahota & Sahota Solicitors, we specialise in defending clients accused of conspiracy to supply drugs. Our expert legal team provides robust representation at every stage—from the police station to the Magistrates’ Court and the Crown Court. Here’s how we can help.
What Is Conspiracy to Supply Drugs?
Conspiracy to supply drugs occurs when individuals are alleged to have entered into an agreement to produce, distribute, or supply controlled substances. The key element in such cases is the agreement itself, even if no drugs were actually supplied.
The penalties vary depending on the class of drug involved:
- Class A drugs: Carry the heaviest sentences, often with a starting point of several years in prison for significant roles in such conspiracies.
- Class B drugs: While less severe than Class A, these still attract long custodial sentences for proven conspiracies.
Prosecutors often rely on evidence such as phone records, surveillance footage, and witness statements to establish the existence of a conspiracy.
How Sahota & Sahota Solicitors Can Assist
Our team of experienced solicitors has built a strong reputation for successfully defending clients accused of conspiracy to supply Class A and B drugs. We operate across the country, offering a bespoke legal service tailored to each client’s circumstances. Here’s what we offer:
1. Assistance at the Police Station
The police station is often the most critical stage of an investigation. What you say—or don’t say—during police questioning can significantly impact your case. We provide:
- 24/7 emergency legal assistance: Our solicitors are available around the clock to ensure your rights are protected during police interviews.
- Strategic advice: We guide you on whether to answer questions, provide a prepared statement, or remain silent, depending on the specific details of your case.
- Evidence assessment: We scrutinize the evidence disclosed by the police and identify any weaknesses in their case from the outset.
Our proactive approach ensures that you’re not unfairly treated or coerced into making incriminating statements.
2. Representation in the Magistrates’ Court
If your case progresses to the Magistrates’ Court, we will:
- Argue for bail: We’ll present compelling arguments to secure your release, ensuring you can continue your personal and professional commitments while awaiting trial.
- Challenge the evidence: Our solicitors are skilled in identifying procedural errors and weak evidence that may result in charges being dismissed or downgraded.
- Prepare for transfer to the Crown Court: For conspiracy to supply offences, cases are escalated to the Crown Court due to their seriousness. We ensure all preparations are meticulously handled during this phase.
3. Advocacy in the Crown Court
When cases are tried in the Crown Court, the stakes are at their highest. Our experienced advocates provide:
- Comprehensive defence strategies: We construct robust defences, such as challenging the existence of a conspiracy, questioning the reliability of witnesses, or disputing the evidence of intent to supply.
- Expert evidence: Where necessary, we collaborate with forensic experts, digital analysts, and other specialists to undermine the prosecution’s case.
- Cross-examination expertise: Our advocates are skilled at exposing inconsistencies in the prosecution’s case during cross-examinations.
- High success rate: Over the years, we have successfully defended numerous clients facing conspiracy to supply charges, resulting in acquittals, reduced charges, or significantly lighter sentences.
