Criminal Litigation

International mutual assistance

Crime is not confined within national boundaries. Authorities increasingly assist one another to break down jurisdictional boundaries. There are formal and informal gateways for exchange of information.  Our experience in this international area of practice is unparalleled.

Most of our major cases have an international element and we regularly advise clients who have been drawn into the international criminal arena whether as defendant, witness or source of information.

Christopher Murray, is the co-author of the leading text on this subject "International Mutual Legal Assistance", published by Sweet & Maxwell.

Our solicitors speak and write regularly on the international aspects of criminal investigation and defence and are active in multinational professional bodies. The combination of our international contacts and our experience gives our clients a world-wide service.
