Understand Your Situation
Words matter. But when does an opinion become a crime? We defend the line between free speech and criminal encouragement.
Defending Speech Offences
Under the Terrorism Act 2006, it is an offence to publish a statement that is likely to be understood as encouraging terrorism. This includes 'glorifying' past acts. Prosecution often targets online comments or speeches.
We defend your right to expression. We argue that the statement was not 'likely' to encourage anyone to commit acts of terror. We explore the context—was it a debate? Was it satire? We also challenge the 'recklessness'—if you didn't intend to encourage terrorism, we fight to prove your lack of criminal mens rea.

Online Posts
A retweet or a like can be interpreted as endorsement.
We contextuaise digital interactions. We argue that sharing information is not the same as endorsing it. We fight to prevent the criminalisation of curiosity or political debate.
Online Comments?
Don't let a post ruin your life. We explain the context.
Legal Aid Availability
For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.
Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
