Conspiracy and Serious Organised Crime

Being accused of a conspiracy or serious organised crime offence is extremely serious and, if convicted, you could receive a long prison sentence, a significant fine, and your assets seized.

It’s therefore essential to consult a specialist conspiracy and serious organised crime solicitor to advise you of your rights, clearly outline your options, and robustly defend your position at all stages of the criminal justice system.

We frequently deal with investigations by the National Crime Agency (formally the Serious Organised Crime Agency). We have a breadth of experience in dealing with huge importations, allegations of conspiracy and evidence obtained through the use of surveillance techniques. We handle all types of serious and organised crime, including all firearms offences, murder, drugs and serious drug allegations.

These types of criminal allegation are judged and punished severely due to the on-going threat of serious and organised crime to our personal safety, local communities, and national security. As well as fighting to preserve your liberty, we seek to limit any potential damage to your personal life, professional interests, and reputation, by vigorously defending your character against the allegations.

What does “conspiracy” mean?

A conspiracy is a plan made by two or more individuals to commit a criminal offence. It doesn’t matter whether those individuals actually committed the crime or not, simply the act of planning is enough to be charged with and convicted of a conspiracy offence.

For example, to be found guilty of conspiracy to supply Class A drugs, you don’t need to actually sell drugs, or even be found in possession of drugs, to be convicted.
