When a state requests the extradition of a person for criminal prosecution or enforcement of a sentence, professional expertise and considered, swift, and targeted action are essential.
Those affected by extradition proceedings are often confronted with politically motivated prosecution, the risk of human rights violations in the requesting state, or other risks. The facts of the case are often complex, and it is also necessary to expertly assess the factual and legal situation in the requesting state in order to identify and successfully assert obstacles to extradition.
