Extradition

Criminal accusations in a foreign jurisdiction can trigger extradition exposure regardless of whether a bilateral treaty exists. We bring extensive experience in extradition matters, working with a trusted global network to deliver coordinated legal strategies across borders.

Our involvement typically begins before any formal proceedings are initiated. We advise on pre-arrest preparatory work, including bail package preparation, and advise clients through to substantive hearing and appeal, coordinating with instructed counsel at each stage. We have advised on extradition matters involving requests to and from Albania, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Singapore, South Korea, Switzerland, Thailand, Ukraine, UAE, United States and Venezuela. We have particular expertise in matters engaging abuse of process, the forum bar, dual criminality and treaty interpretation in the context of financial crime allegations.
