Extradition

Our criminal defence solicitors are highly experienced in defending individuals who are facing extradition.

We are able to help with the following aspects of extradition:

• Advising prior to potential extradition proceedings being instigated with regards to Interpol Red Notice challenges or diffusions, and representations to the Secretary of State
• Coordinating with our Immigration, Asylum and Nationality team where appropriate, especially if an anticipated extradition request is politically motivated
• Advising before arrest regarding voluntary surrender, representations to the police, and preparing the strongest bail package
• Challenging the extradition request in court, instructing expert specialist counsel to assist
• Providing up to date advice on fast moving legal developments in this area
• Utilising our large database and access to lawyers overseas and experts to obtain expert reports to challenge the request
• Coordinating with overseas lawyers to facilitate a compromise of the extradition request, where appropriate
• Representing appellants in appeals up to the Supreme Court and representations to the Secretary of State and ECHR
