Siobhain Egan acted for a man who was one of three defendants facing trial at Ipswich Crown Court concerning commercial cultivation of cannabis on a very large-scale cannabis farm in Suffolk. Our client raised duress, stating that he had been coerced to become involved because of serious threats to his safety. His two co-defendants, who were represented by other solicitors, pleaded guilty and our client was unanimously acquitted by the jury.

The brilliant Übermeister tactician Barry Gilbert of 2 Bedford Row was trial counsel.
