Facing a criminal conspiracy charge can feel overwhelming — and the consequences can be life-changing. Whether you’ve been arrested, are under investigation, or fear you’re about to be, you need expert legal support immediately.
At MMA Law, we specialise in defending conspiracy charges, including conspiracy to supply drugs, conspiracy to commit murder, and organised crime allegations. Based in Middlesbrough, we offer national defence with a personal, local approach. Our experienced solicitors are available 24/7 and offer a free 30-minute consultation to help you understand your rights and your options.
Legal Aid is available, and we provide confidential, non-judgemental advice from your very first call.
A criminal conspiracy charge means you’re accused of agreeing with one or more people to commit a crime — even if the crime never actually took place.
Under the Criminal Law Act 1977, conspiracy is defined as an agreement to commit an unlawful act. You don’t need to be caught in the act — the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) only needs to prove that an agreement existed and that there was intent (mens rea).
This can involve messages, phone records, or even encrypted communications like EncroChat, often presented as evidence of a plan. Being accused of helping to plan a drug deal or robbery — even without direct involvement — can still result in a conspiracy charge.
These cases are often complex, involving multiple defendants and wide-ranging digital evidence. That’s why you need expert legal defence from the start. At MMA Law, our criminal conspiracy solicitors in Middlesbrough have defended clients in some of the most serious conspiracy cases across England and Wales.
We act quickly to protect your rights during interviews under caution, challenge unlawful evidence, and develop early defence strategies. We understand how to scrutinise joint enterprise claims and dissect large-scale CPS investigations. Our team works closely with forensic analysts, barristers, and digital experts to expose weak points in the prosecution’s case.
If you're under investigation or facing charges, we’re here to give you clear, honest legal advice — with Legal Aid available for those who qualify. Every case starts with a free 30-minute consultation, so you can understand your position before things escalate.

A criminal conspiracy charge involves an agreement between two or more people to commit a crime, even if the crime is never carried out. Under the Criminal Law Act 1977, the prosecution must prove intent and shared knowledge of the illegal plan.
Yes. You can be charged with conspiracy if you were part of a plan to commit a crime, even if the offence was never completed. The offence lies in the agreement itself, not the outcome.
Sentencing depends on the class of drug and your role in the conspiracy:
Factors like quantity, role, and prior convictions affect the sentence. Judges follow Sentencing Council guidelines.
Almost always. Most conspiracy offences are serious enough to be heard in the Crown Court, especially if they involve Class A drugs, fraud, firearms, or organised crime. These trials often involve multiple defendants and complex evidence.
