High-Profile Terrorist case
Conspiring to Commit Terrorism
Sheffield Crown Court - NOT GUILTY
High-Profile Terrorist case
We were involved in one of the highest profile terrorist cases in the UK. Our client appeared in the international news and on the front page of many newspapers for a number of years. The allegation was that he, along with others, had conspired to cause explosions in the UK.
This was an extremely complex case that we worked on for many years. The case involved fingerprint experts, phone experts, firework experts and members of the armed forces gave evidence. The original arrests sparked worldwide attention. Sky News, BBC News and many newspapers nicknamed the defendant "the Christmas bomber". His arrest was very high profile.
The case required a full team, including Queen's Counsel, a barrister and experts from a variety of teams. The defendant had been in the armed forces abroad.
The defendant faced two trials and a verdict of not guilty was recorded against him. In his press interviews, the defendant personally thanked our team for their hard work over the years.

What Our Clients Are Saying
“They assemble a team once they have identified what the client wants and needs. The same team then remains throughout, which makes the entire process seamless.”
"Fighting for my liberty, fighting for justice, fighting so all those people from my family and amongst my friends who had fought against terrorists and had lost their lives did not feel that I had let them down. I was not a terrorist.”
"Particular thanks to my defence team, led by my solicitor Sajad Chaudhury and my barristers, led by Simon Kealey QC, Ray Singh and Ian Hudson, who all fought tirelessly over the years and went over and above what was expected.” - Press Quote ,Andy Star
“I had been to five solicitors before I had my meeting with Harewood Law, I was worried about the effect of negative press on my families celebrity status. But from the first meeting I knew they were the right firm. The press had gathered for my case, but wrote very little after my case was dismissed in court. At every stage I could see the quality of their work, they were relentless in their pursuit of justice. They are a top-tier firm and I cannot recommend them enough.”
“The experts they put together, identified so many issues with the phone evidence in the case, that the evidence was actually withdrawn. The prosecution decided they would not rely on it. It really helped my case.”
”I had worked in the Finance and Banking sectors previously but was charged with money laundering nearly a million pounds through a complex web of accounts. The top tier service provided by Harewood Law resulted in my acquittal after a four year ordeal. I cannot recommend them enough.”
