Specialists in Extradition & European Arrest Warrant Cases

These proceedings are governed by both domestic legislation and international treaties, such as the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) and bilateral extradition agreements.
We are one of the most experienced and well-known extradition law firms in the country and regularly advise respondents who are the subject of extradition proceedings before the High Court.
