From simple possession to large scale conspiracy, ASL defends the full range of drug offences and challenges the evidence at every turn.

Challenging the evidence, from possession to conspiracy
Drug offences range from possession to multi-handed conspiracies to supply. The penalties are severe, and prosecutions increasingly rely on complex evidence such as phone downloads, encrypted messaging, surveillance and cell-site analysis.
ASL has the technical expertise to dismantle that evidence. We challenge the basis of the prosecution’s case, the attribution of messages and devices, and the alleged scale of any operation.

“Possession is not the same as intent. Intent is not the same as supply. The difference matters, and we fight for it.”
Offences we regularly defend
Possession and possession with intent to supply
Supplying and offering to supply controlled drugs
Production and cultivation
Importation and conspiracy, including county lines
How ASL defends your case
We scrutinise how the evidence was obtained, whether your phone or device has been correctly attributed to you, and whether the alleged role and quantity stand up. Early work on disclosure is often decisive.
Forensic challenge to phone and cell-site evidence
Scrutiny of search, seizure and disclosure
Robust representation on role and quantity
Where appropriate we build mitigation that secures the lowest possible sentence.
If you or someone you care about has been arrested or invited for a voluntary interview, do not answer questions until you have spoken to us. The earliest advice is the most valuable advice.
