Extradition Expertise And Services

Even after an extradition request is defeated, international travel often remains difficult. Even though the threat of arrest and extradition has been defeated in one country, it may still be an issue in others. With this in mind, we regularly offer advice on future travel arrangements and have extensive experience in cautiously managing the aftereffects of an extradition request. For example, INTERPOL may still be processing data relating to the individual, and as such, there could remain a risk of arrest when traveling.

What is Extradition?

Extradition is the formal legal process by which one country asks another country for the return of an individual to face a criminal trial in the requesting state.

Extradition can also be requested for an individual who is wanted abroad following conviction in the requesting state.

Should I be concerned?

Yes. Being the target of an extradition request is a very stressful and harrowing experience for both the subject and their family and can have reputational damage that can severely impact an individual’s livelihood.

Are there pre-emptive steps that I can take?

Yes. Even if you only suspect that an extradition request is on its way, it pays to be prepared. Taking pre-emptive action may also enable us to avoid an unexpected arrest and put in place procedures to maximize your chances of bail.
