Extradition & Cross-Border Defense

The U.S. Proceeding

The work ad­dress­es the re­quest­ing ju­ris­dic­tion, the ap­pli­ca­ble treaty frame­work, the sup­port­ing record, and the client’s im­me­di­ate cir­cum­stances. De­pend­ing on the pro­ceed­ing, rep­re­sen­ta­tion may in­volve de­ten­tion is­sues, ex­am­i­na­tion of the re­quest and sup­port­ing ma­te­ri­al, and prepa­ra­tion of the ar­gu­ments avail­able in the U.S. court.

Coordination Across Jurisdictions

Re­lat­ed for­eign pro­ceed­ings re­quire ad­vice from coun­sel au­tho­rized to act there. The firm co­or­di­nates the ex­change of in­for­ma­tion and the as­sess­ment of de­ci­sions that may af­fect more than one pro­ceed­ing. That co­or­di­na­tion pre­serves the sep­a­rate re­spon­si­bil­i­ties of coun­sel and the re­quire­ments of each le­gal sys­tem.

Public Communications

Cross-bor­der pro­ceed­ings can gen­er­ate con­flict­ing pub­lic ac­counts. State­ments made on a client’s be­half must be con­sid­ered along­side the court record, pro­tect­ed in­for­ma­tion, and the im­pli­ca­tions for re­lat­ed pro­ceed­ings.
