Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if I’m involved in an international legal case?

Being caught up in a criminal investigation or litigation overseas gets overwhelming fast.

It’s sometimes harder to understand the charge, get the facts on your case, or know your rights.

You might be facing extradition, or involved in “international mutual assistance” – where you are asked to give evidence or information for a court case in another country.

Either way, two things can make the process less painful: expert legal guidance, and a firm with connections in the country you are dealing with.
