Extradition

The upward trend towards expedition for fraud, financial mismanagement and general crime
continues to advance. Companies and individuals are now increasingly at risk of being subject
to extradition proceedings and eventual trial for offences which would previously have been
disposed of domestically.

The European Arrest Warrant is being increasing deployed in prosecutions for fraud offences.
The United States has also introduced legislation aimed at prosecuting international financial
offences, which has had a particular impact on the UK. In light of this, a comprehensive
understanding of the complex and developing area of extradition has become an imperative.

Our related experience and expertise in the area of asset freezing and forfeiture means we
can offer additional capability in this area to our clients.
