An extradition request raises particular legal and practical issues, often within a short timetable. Early advice helps you understand the request and the next stage of the process.
Matters we can help with
- Advice following arrest
- Representation at extradition hearings
- Consideration of bail
- Advice on challenges and appeals
How we can support you
We can review the request and supporting papers, identify the issues requiring investigation and prepare representation. The available arguments depend on the country involved, the legal framework and your circumstances.
Before your first discussion
Keep the request, court papers and hearing details together. Tell your solicitor about any immigration, health or family issues that may be relevant. Obtain prompt advice about deadlines rather than relying on general information online.
Your funding options
Legal aid may be available, subject to the relevant eligibility criteria. Private funding can also be discussed. We will explain the proposed work and funding arrangements before you decide to instruct us.

Can a relative contact you after an arrest?
General information, not advice on your individual circumstances. Submitting an enquiry does not mean the firm has accepted instructions.
