Extradition Solicitors & Interpol Removal Solicitors — UK Services

Intercollegium Lawyers is a specialist international law firm advising individuals, businesses, and governments on extradition, Interpol notice challenges, and cross-border legal disputes. Our solicitors represent clients at Westminster Magistrates’ Court — the dedicated extradition court for England and Wales — as well as before the High Court, the Supreme Court, and the European Court of Human Rights. Every instruction is handled by a qualified, UK-regulated solicitor with extensive experience in international criminal law. We have successfully challenged extradition requests from dozens of requesting states and secured the removal of Interpol notices for clients around the world. Whether you face urgent arrest, a Red Notice, a European Arrest Warrant, or financial sanctions, our team provides the Legal 500-quality advice you need — available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

An Interpol notice can severely restrict your freedom of movement and access to the international banking system. Our Interpol Red Notice removal solicitors work directly with Interpol’s Commission for the Control of Files (CCF) to challenge unlawful or politically motivated Red Notices on your behalf. We also handle Diffusion Notice challenges, Blue Notice reviews, and Silver Notice disputes. Our approach combines rigorous legal analysis with a thorough understanding of Interpol’s rules, statutes, and the CCF’s complaint procedures. Acting quickly is essential: we can file urgent preventive requests to halt police action whilst a full challenge is prepared. Contact us as soon as you become aware of any Interpol notice against you.

Extradition proceedings in England and Wales begin at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, where a District Judge will hear the initial application. If extradition is ordered, our solicitors can appeal to the High Court — and, where appropriate, to the Supreme Court. We scrutinise every stage of the process, raising all available bars to extradition under the Extradition Act 2003, including the Human Rights Act 1998 and Articles 3 and 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (prison conditions and the right to a fair trial). Post-Brexit, European Arrest Warrant (EAW) requests from EU member states are now governed by the UK–EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA), and we have extensive experience navigating this updated legal framework. Our international human rights solicitors work closely alongside our extradition team to build the strongest possible defence.

We advise clients facing extradition requests from across the globe, including the United States, United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Spain, Germany, France, China, Thailand, and Russia. Each requesting state presents its own treaty framework, evidentiary standards, and human rights considerations. Our solicitors examine the strength of the foreign case, applicable treaty provisions, dual criminality, and any bars that arise from the political nature of the alleged offence or the conditions in the requesting state’s prison system. If you are facing a request from any country, speak to our extradition solicitors for an immediate assessment of your options.

Since Brexit, the United Kingdom operates its own autonomous sanctions regime through the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI), entirely separate from the EU’s framework. Our UK sanctions solicitors advise on OFSI designations, asset freezes, and licence applications, as well as US OFAC sanctions and EU-imposed measures that affect our clients’ international operations. We act for individuals, businesses, and financial institutions seeking to challenge designations, obtain derogations, or understand their compliance obligations. Where financial crime allegations overlap with extradition proceedings, our integrated team provides co-ordinated advice across both areas.

Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties (MLATs) enable states to share evidence, freeze assets, and co-operate in cross-border investigations without formal extradition proceedings. Our MLAT solicitors advise clients who are the subject of incoming or outgoing MLAT requests, helping them understand the scope of any disclosure, challenge unlawful requests, and protect their rights throughout the investigative process. We have experience in requests involving banking records, digital evidence, and asset restraint across multiple jurisdictions.

Our firm was built specifically to handle the most complex international criminal and extradition matters. We are UK-regulated solicitors with a strong track record of successful outcomes for clients facing serious cross-border legal challenges. We are available around the clock — including weekends and bank holidays — because extradition arrests rarely occur at convenient times. Our team is multilingual, covering English, Russian, Arabic, French, Spanish, and German, and we work with an international network of local counsel in requesting states. You can read about our outcomes on our cases page and learn more about the individuals behind the firm on our team page. From the first call to the final hearing, we are with you every step of the way.
