Prasad Palihawadana, a founding partner, was involved in defending a client during a trial at Preston crown court over an alleged £2 million to £3 million conspiracy. The prosecution claimed that rental properties were identified for cannabis farms and exploited, as well as various units used, and money laundered through various businesses.

Palihawadana also recently concluded a case at Harrow crown court where the firm represented a Thai woman who was accused of conspiracy to supply class A drugs. She was vulnerable and claimed that she had been exploited by a co-defendant. She was acquitted by unanimous jury verdict after an eight-week trial. As a result, the prosecution dropped another case against her.
