Extradition - London (Bar)
What the Team is Known For
Doughty Street Chambers is recognised for its "large number of experienced barristers able to handle matters of any complexity." Its barristers are regularly involved in the most high-profile matters of the day and are noted for having developed extradition law itself through the bringing of test cases before the Supreme Court. Individuals here generally act for requested persons both in the UK and in international extradition courts and are known for the commitment and ingenuity they bring to all their cases. Members have acted in several key cases this year, including Japan v Kaine Wright and USA v Mr Gobind Lal Tahil. Members are particularly known for running important human rights arguments in high-profile cases.
Matthew Butchard is the senior clerk for crime.
