Extraditions & Interpol.
International specialists.

JM&W has an outstanding and accredited specialisation in extradition proceedings and Interpol notice management, an area in which Valeria Volovikova has built a leading practice before the Criminal Chamber of the Audiencia Nacional of Spain.

We act in the defence of persons sought for extradition from any State, in active extradition proceedings brought by Spanish authorities, and in the management, challenge and cancellation of Interpol red notices, diffusions and international notifications.

Our communication capacity in Spanish, Russian and English — the three most common working languages in these proceedings — allows us to effectively assist nationals and foreigners from multiple countries.
