Terrorism

Terrorism offences are a complex area of law requiring an expert solicitor to fully defend allegations. At Watson Woodhouse, we have a team of specialists ready to provide assistance across all terrorism types. Due to our national reputation, we have defended clients throughout the country, including London, Birmingham and the North West of England. If you require advice, guidance and representation, please contact us immediately.

Terrorism Offences

We’re able to support individuals with offences under the following:

  • The Terrorism Act 2000
  • The Anti-Terrorism, The Crime and Security Act 2001
  • The Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005
  • The Terrorism Act 2006
  • The Counter Terrorism Act 2008

With a solid, national reputation, we have built a practical experience in the defence of terrorism from ISIS style Jihadist offending through to white supremacist cases.

We provide advice on the following terrorism issues and the list is not exhaustive:

Weapons Training: It is an offence to provide instruction or training in the making or use of chemical or biological weapons, firearms or explosives. This carries a maximum sentence of 10 years’ imprisonment.

Hoax Bomb Threats: It’s a criminal offence to make hoax bomb threats to cabin crew while on an aircraft or in the airport. This offence can also include other hoax offences. If airport staff overhear what could be a throwaway comment or joke shared with friends, you could be on the receiving end of a bomb hoax allegation. In this instance, you could land in prison and be subject to a County Court Claim for thousands in the airport’s lost revenue.

Terrorism & The Courts

The courts take terrorism offences very seriously and therefore can impose lengthy prison sentences. Our criminal defence solicitors are here to achieve the best possible outcome on your behalf during this distressing time.

What Our Clients Say

Latest Trustpilot Reviews

I would 100% recommend this practice. Andrew was fantastic, very efficient, full of good advice and fully represented my interests. Whenever I contacted the office the staff were very accommodating and professional. I will soon be going back to have a new will made and consider them now to be “my” solicitors. I am also grateful to the estate agent that pointed me in this direction.

Absolutely outstanding performance! If you are buying or selling a house, you need Watson and Woodhouse to do the conveyancing for you. Alisha Stevenson acted on my behalf for the purchase of my home and she completed the work in five weeks! Every other solicitor I approached said it would take twelve to sixteen weeks! I cannot say thank you enough times. Excellent communication. Excellent documentation. Excellent work. I highly recommend Watson and Woodhouse if you are considering buying or selling your house.

I have just used Watson Woodhouse for my conveyancing in my recent house sale. It was a total of 3 months from 1st hitting the market to completion and key handover. The services provided by Katie Gibson and Livvie Pruden were exceptional, keeping me in the loop and updated.

Sarah, Kirsty & Laura have helped me through the hardest time of my life. Their attention to detail, professionalism, empathy and kindness will be something that will stick with me forever.

A big thank you to Richard and the team at Watson Woodhouse. Your professionalism, knowledge and positive attitude made all the difference and ensured my house sale completed. You guided me through some complex issues and your advice was always first class

Watson Woodhouse looked after the sale of one house and the purchase of another. It was an excellent service. Alisha Stevenson made what is normally a stressful situation bearable with her professionalism. She is easy to talk to, She made herself available when she could and always returned a call when she couldn’t. Good value for money.

We used Watson Woodhouse for the sale of our home and purchase of our new bungalow. We would like to thank Katie Gibson, Jackie Howard and Livvie-Mae Pruden for all their help and support during this long process which was delayed by an issue with our vendor’s solicitors. The ladies acted with patience and kindness and were totally professional at all times. Thank you all so much.
