Conspiracy to defraud
Conspiracy to defraud is an agreement between two or more people to dishonestly cause financial loss to another. It is often linked to commercial activities or large-scale fraud investigations.

If you are accused of conspiracy to defraud, we will guide you through the investigation process and provide advice on how to best defend your position.
Conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm
Conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH) involves an alleged agreement to cause serious physical injury to another person.
These cases can be brought even if no assault took place, provided the prosecution claims there was an intention to commit harm.
We understand that such allegations are extremely serious and can have long-lasting consequences. Our conspiracy defence solicitors carefully review all material, including text messages, social media communications, and surveillance footage.
Where possible, we will seek to demonstrate that no agreement existed or that your involvement has been misrepresented.

Conspiracy FAQs
What is a conspiracy offence?
A conspiracy offence involves an agreement between two or more people to commit a criminal act. The offence lies in the agreement itself, rather than whether the intended crime was actually carried out.
Conspiracy charges are often used in complex investigations involving organised criminal activity or coordinated plans to commit offences such as drug supply, fraud, or theft.
Can I be convicted of conspiracy if I didn’t take part in the crime?
Yes, you can be convicted of a conspiracy offence even if the crime itself never took place or you did not actively participate in it.
The prosecution only needs to prove that you knowingly agreed to the plan and intended for the criminal act to occur. This is why early legal advice is crucial when facing conspiracy allegations.
How serious is a conspiracy charge?
The severity of the penalty depends heavily on the type of offence the conspiracy relates to. For example:
- Conspiracy to supply controlled drugs (Class A, B or C) can lead to lengthy prison sentences, particularly if the quantity is substantial or the operation is deemed sophisticated or commercial in scale.
- Conspiracy to defraud also carries harsh penalties and can result in multi-year custodial sentences depending on the amount of money involved or the degree of public trust violated.
A skilled solicitor can challenge the prosecution’s evidence, negotiate reduced charges or sentences, and ensure that your rights are fully protected throughout the process.
