Extradition Solicitors

Helping avoid extradition

We take a pro-active approach to advising clients who have concerns that a foreign country might be in the process of issuing an extradition request. We make every effort to prevent that from happening.
Advice received at an early stage in the case is important. A potential extradition request may be avoided if we make contact directly with the requesting state, or by instructing one of our international contacts to represent you on your behalf to the local prosecutor or court to either withdraw a domestic arrest warrant or suspend an outstanding prison sentence.

We have an extensive network of international contacts. We’re able to call upon them for advice and assistance at the local level. This ensures everything is done to avoid the worst effects of an extradition request and in an efficient and timely manner.

Advising on bail

If an extradition request is unavoidable, we can advise on bail and prepare structured bail packages in preparation for an extradition request being made. This can often lead to the granting of bail at the first hearing and avoid a return into custody. From the start of the case we ensure high-quality, realistic advice is given about the challenges often raised in an extradition request, and what the best options are to advance those challenges.

Preparing your case

The burden of proof in extradition cases is often upon the requested person. This means gathering evidence to support a challenge is one of the most crucial aspects of any extradition case. We will approach the task of collecting evidence with thoroughness and diligence, leaving no stone unturned.
