If you are accused or convicted of a criminal offence in another jurisdiction, you may be subject to extradition proceedings—even if no formal extradition treaty exists between the UK and the requesting country.
Our internationally recognised lawyers have a strong track record in extradition defence, working with a trusted global network of advisers to provide strategic legal solutions.
Where an extradition request is made, we advise on every stage of the process, from pre-arrest preparatory work (including preparing a full bail package), through to substantive hearing and, if necessary, any appeal. Our lawyers will advise on all available challenges to extradition and have represented clients before the UK Supreme Court and European Court of Human Rights.
We have successfully defended extradition requests from a wide range of jurisdictions, including the USA, Russia, UAE, India, Canada, and most EU countries, with a particular expertise in requests concerning allegations of financial crime, and where political motivation or human rights issues are at play.
Our team works closely with Human Rights, Immigration, Family, and Reputation Management specialists, ensuring a comprehensive legal strategy for clients facing complex cross-border legal challenges.
