Notable Cases
R v Khan and Others
This complex case involved allegations of a sophisticated bank fraud, in which multiple defendants were accused of misusing confidential HSBC client information to transfer substantial sums of money into personal accounts. Spanning more than four years and culminating in a four-week trial, the case presents significant challenges due to the volume of digital evidence and the seriousness of the charges.
Our team meticulously reviewed thousands of pages of material, scrutinising every detail and identifying key inconsistencies. Through the thorough preparation and skilled cross-examinations of our instructed barrister, we were able to dismantle the prosecution’s case. As a result, our client was acquitted and found not guilty of all charges, avoiding a lengthy custodial sentence and allowing him to move forward with his life.
R v Safai
Our client faced a serious allegation of rape, with the complainant asserting that she had been intoxicated and taken advantage of. The case was further complicated by multiple witnesses giving evidence in support of the complainant, making the defence particularly challenging.
Through the tireless efforts of our team, we carefully picked apart the prosecution’s case, tested the reliability of the evidence, and exposed key weaknesses in the allegations. As a result, the jury acquitted our client, who was found not guilty of all charges.
R v Kauser
Our client faced allegations of organising a large-scale operation to import Class A drugs, namely Cocaine. With an estimated street-value exceeding £14 million. It was alleged that she had recruited family members to undertake multiple trips abroad, returning with suitcases containing the Cocaine. The case involved extensive digital evidence, including phone data, which made the prosecution’s case particularly strong.
Despite the weight of the evidence, our team worked tirelessly to ensure her position was properly advanced. By securing credit for an early guilty plea and presenting compelling mitigating factors, we achieved a significantly reduced sentence of 13 years. With eligibility for early release at the halfway point, this represented a far more favourable outcome than the 20+ years she had initially faced.
