We are frequently instructed in matters where individuals face arrest and surrender based on allegations of fraud, corruption, sanctions evasion or abuse of public office. Our track record includes securing discharge from extradition proceedings on human rights and abuse of process grounds, and achieving strategic resolutions through diplomatic, judicial and international engagement.

We also act for clients who are subject to INTERPOL alerts—Red Notices, Blue Notices and diffusions – and are often instructed to challenge the circulation of such notices before the Commission for the Control of INTERPOL’s Files (CCF). These matters often proceed in parallel with extradition litigation, and we are well-versed in devising integrated strategies to address both simultaneously for maximum efficiency and impact.

Our expertise also extends to advising sovereign states in their interactions with the INTERPOL General Secretariat and in disputes with other member states as well as compliance with the Organisation’s legal framework.

We recently acted in one of the most high-profile and politically sensitive extradition cases of recent years, representing a Venezuelan special envoy who had been unlawfully extradited to the United States. The case involved proceedings in six jurisdictions and required the coordination of domestic legal strategy with regional and international advocacy. The matter was successfully resolved with a full presidential pardon.

Our practice is uniquely positioned at the intersection of extradition, international criminal law and political risk. We are regularly instructed by high-profile businesspeople, public officials and governments, and are experienced in delivering results under intense diplomatic and media scrutiny.
