Extradition Law London

A person can be liable for extradition if they are accused, or convicted of, a crime in a foreign country.

Pvidud Legal Will nominate lawyers that help assist British nationals who find themselves subject to extradition requests by authorities overseas and international high net worth individuals who may need our assistance with regard to politically motivated extradition requests or otherwise. We are also often called upon to advise foreign governments in relation to extradition requests.

Our recommended Lawyers have provided advice in relation to many countries across the world, including most EU countries, the USA, Canada, Australia, Chile, Bolivia, New Zealand, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Serbia, Bosnia, Albania, Switzerland, Kenya, Egypt, Nigeria, South Africa, the UAE, India, South Korea, Japan, Sri Lanka, China and Pakistan. 

With the UK having withdrawn from the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) scheme, Are nominated lawyers are well placed to advise on requests that will inevitably follow in the post-Brexit regime. However, there is an increasing demand for advice in relation to extradition requests from non-EU countries, notably Russia, the CIS and India. In addition, there is a growing trend for requests from the US, in particular for financial regulatory or fraud related matters.

Even where a country does not have an extradition arrangement with the UK, it is possible for special arrangements to be made. We have an established network of international lawyers with whom we work closely to give clients expert advice wherever a request emanates from, or family members and assets are located.  

The complexity of extradition law means that it is crucial that anyone who is the target of, or believes they may be at risk of, an extradition request, takes advice at the earliest opportunity.
