Understand Your Situation
Extradition to non-EU countries like the USA or UAE involves complex treaties. We fight to ensure you get a fair hearing in the UK.
Defending Part 2 Extradition
Extradition to 'Part 2' territories (e.g., USA, Australia, Russia, UAE) is governed by specific treaties. The UK court must decide if there is a 'prima facie' case against you—meaning there must be actual evidence of guilt, not just an accusation.
We attack this evidence. We argue that the evidence provided is weak or inadmissible. We also focus heavily on Human Rights bars. If the prison conditions in the requesting state are inhumane, or if you will not receive a fair trial, the UK courts can refuse to send you. We commission expert reports on foreign prison conditions to win these arguments.

Plan Your Defence
Forum Bar
A key defence is the 'Forum Bar'. If a substantial part of the alleged activity took place in the UK, we argue you should be tried here, not abroad.
This is particularly relevant for cybercrime or fraud cases. We fight to keep the case in the UK jurisdiction, where you have access to fair legal process and your family.
Unfair Trial Abroad?
We use Human Rights laws to stop you being sent to unsafe regimes.
Legal Aid Availability
For many criminal matters, from police station interviews to Crown Court trials, public funding (Legal Aid) may be available to cover your legal costs.
Eligibility is determined by the seriousness of the case and, in some instances, a means assessment. Our team will conduct an immediate, confidential assessment of your eligibility to ensure that financial constraints do not stand in the way of a robust defence.
