J oint Enterprise

Joint Enterprise is where, if one or more people commit an offence (the main offenders) and another/ others (secondary offenders) intended to encourage or assist them to commit the offence, the secondary offender(s) can be prosecuted as if they were a main offender. 

This has resulted in bystanders, or people involved in much lesser criminal offences, being convicted of murder or manslaughter. 

We at Belgravia Solicitors understand joint enterprise, understand how the system works, and we can advise you and prepare your case by challenging the evidence, ensure the joint enterprise doctrine is not being misinterpreted and fight your corner to give you the best chance of achieving the result you want from your case. 

If you, a family member / relative, or a friend are accused of joint enterprise in relation to any criminal offence, it is important to seek legal advice. Discussing your case with a specialist joint enterprise lawyer at an early stage is essential to help understand what can be done to prepare a proper defence.
