grammatical number - What would be the possessive of "Defendants Smith"?

In a legal pleading, we had described several defendants, collectively, as "Defendants Smith". How do I create a possessive for that? Is it "Defendants Smiths' argument" or is it "Defendants Smith's argument"? (Is the possessive for a singular descriptor of a group a singular or plural?)



Thank you!
