Tarek Muhammad

Tarek Muhammad is an Associate Partner and senior legal adviser with over 15 years of professional practice in public and private law. His work centres on criminal defence, international law, extradition, compliance and sanctions, with particular attention to matters that span several jurisdictions and call for advice coordinated across borders.

Tarek has defended clients in extradition cases and has led complex cross-border litigation and arbitration proceedings. He builds legal strategies in cooperation with foreign counsel, an approach that matters where the request, the underlying allegations and the client's interests sit in different countries. He works within the firm's team handling extradition matters.

Tarek holds an LL.B. from Damascus University. He provides legal counsel in Arabic, English and French, so clients facing extradition or sanctions-related questions can give instructions and receive advice in any of these three languages, while the case is coordinated with lawyers in other jurisdictions where it requires.
