We are one of the few Chinese-speaking law firms in Australia which provide legal assistance to individuals facing extradition for crimes such as drug trafficking, terrorism, white-collar crime, and murder.

We understand that facing extradition can be overwhelming, and we are committed to providing our clients with the guidance and support they need. Our skilled lawyers work closely with clients to develop a strong defence strategy, protect their rights, and ensure they receive fair treatment under the law.
If you need help with international extradition, our experienced lawyers are here to help.
Our goal is to provide our clients with the highest level of legal representation and support during what can be a very stressful and challenging time. We will work tirelessly to protect your rights and ensure that you receive the best possible outcome in your extradition case.
Our lawyers have extensive experience in handling extradition cases. We can assist in several ways, including:
- Review the extradition request to ensure that all legal requirements are met by the requested country or state ;
- Negotiate with relevant authorities to minimise the risk of extradition;
- Challenge extradition requests in court if they do not meet legal requirements or violate the person’s rights;
- Provide legal representation at extradition hearings and appeals; and
- Advocate for the person’s rights and ensuring that they receive fair treatment under the law.
Frequently asked question
What are the steps in the extradition process?
The extradition process involves a formal request from the requesting country, followed by a review and hearing by the requested country. If approved, the requested country surrenders the person to the requesting country, where they may face legal proceedings. The requested country may also request assurances of fair treatment and impose conditions on the extradition, such as limiting charges or requiring the person’s return after legal proceedings.
Seek legal advice as soon as possible to understand the best course of action.
What are the potential consequences of extradition?
If you are extradited, you will be transferred to the requesting country to face charges or serve a sentence. This can result in serious consequences, including lengthy prison terms and the loss of your freedom.
Therefore, it is crucial that you seek legal advice as soon as to minimise the risk of extradition and protect your rights.
Why is it important to engage a lawyer early on?
If you or someone you know is facing extradition, time is of the essence. The extradition process can move quickly, so you need to act fast to safeguard your rights and increase the likelihood of avoiding extradition. Delaying could be costly, so it is essential to contact a lawyer immediately to safeguard your future.

How long does the extradition process take?

What is our experience in handling assault and other violent crimes?
When considering an extradition request, several factors can contribute to a successful refusal, including insufficient evidence, political motivations, double jeopardy, humanitarian concerns, and procedural irregularities. If any of these factors can be demonstrated, a court may refuse the extradition request.
However, the specific circumstances of each case can vary, and it is important to consult a lawyer to evaluate your case and help you determine your legal options.
Which countries does Australia have extradition obligations with?
Australia has extradition obligations with a significant number of countries around the world. Some of the countries that Australia has extradition obligations with include: the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, South Korea, Japan, China, India, Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia.
It is worth noting that the specific terms of each extradition agreement can vary, and some agreements may include certain limitations or exceptions.
