Facing Criminal Conspiracy Allegations?
Protect Your Rights with Expert Legal Defence
Being accused of criminal conspiracy is a serious and complex legal matter that demands immediate and strategic action. Under the law, conspiracy charges involve an agreement between two or more individuals to commit an illegal act, combined with an overt act taken in furtherance of that agreement. Even if the intended crime was never completed, the conspiracy itself can lead to significant penalties, including substantial fines and lengthy prison sentences.
If you are facing criminal conspiracy charges, you need experienced defence lawyers who understand the intricacies of conspiracy law and are prepared to fight vigorously for your rights.

What Is Criminal Conspiracy?
Criminal conspiracy is generally defined as an agreement between two or more people to engage in criminal conduct. To secure a conviction, the prosecution must typically prove:
An agreement to commit a crime existed,
Each defendant knowingly and voluntarily joined the agreement, and
At least one overt act was taken to advance the conspiracy.
Unlike other offences, a conspiracy charge focuses on the intent and planning, making it uniquely complex and often heavily reliant on circumstantial evidence, intercepted communications, or witness testimony.
Common Types of Criminal Conspiracy Cases
At Shield Law, we defend clients against a wide range of conspiracy allegations, including
Drug trafficking conspiracies
Fraud and financial crime conspiracies
Organised crime and gang-related conspiracies
Conspiracy to commit assault, robbery, or murder
Conspiracy to obstruct justice
No matter the nature of the allegations, our experienced criminal conspiracy lawyers can help you challenge the prosecution’s case and build a strong defence.


Potential Penalties for Criminal Conspiracy Convictions
The penalties for criminal conspiracy vary depending on the underlying offence and jurisdiction. Consequences can include:
Lengthy prison sentences (sometimes matching the penalty for the crime itself)
Hefty fines
Probation or parole restrictions
A permanent criminal record
Professional and reputational harm
Because conspiracy charges often magnify the seriousness of the alleged criminal conduct, it is vital to have a dedicated legal team on your side.
