Amanda Bostock

Amanda practises in crime, professional discipline and coronial law and is a

particularly highly respected extradition specialist. She has practised in this niche

area of law for a number of years with cases ranging from first instance to the

Supreme Court and with individuals sought for crimes of dishonesty, murder, gang

rape, international people trafficking and war crimes.

She is regularly instructed on behalf of requesting governments including America,

the Republic of Moldova, the United Arab Emirates and Russia as well as the full

range of European cases.

For requested persons she acts in cases raising human rights concerns and prison

conditions across a plethora of jurisdictions, particularly in relation to vulnerable

persons and inadequate medical care, alongside technical arguments in relation to

request sufficiency and trial in absence. She is a thoughtful and conscientious lawyer

with a 'lovely manner' towards clients, instilling confidence both in the client and with

the court.
