Support one on the same side without breaking the law (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

legally

'without breaking the law' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'support one on the same side' is the wordplay.
'support' becomes 'leg' (leg is a kind of support).
'one on the same side' becomes 'ally' (I've seen this in another clue).
'leg'+'ally'='LEGALLY'

(Other definitions for legally that I've seen before include "As regards the law" , "without breaking the law" , "In a manner approved by law" , "Lawfully" , "without offence" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
