Extradition

Status law advise you in relation to all possible defences to an extradition request. Our specialised extradition team have great experience in handling complex cases involving politically motivated charges.

Protection

Extensive experience in helping people who have become a target of politically and economically motivated criminal allegations in their home countries to pass the asylum determination process abroad and remain under international legal protection.

Reputation

Specialised public relations practice in-house which allows us to address each situation holistically and avoid any unnecessary third-party involvement. In addition, thanks to that we can stay in permanent contact with a broad range of local and international media, NGO and government organisations and reach out to them directly.

Interpol

More than a hundred Red Notice and diffusion removals, which were followed by their complete deletion. This result was achieved thanks to our ability to effectively work directly with the Commission for the CIF based on a deep understanding of international law, Interpol’s own regulations and knowledge of the particular countries’ national law.

Banking

Status law provides some highly specific finance and banking law services. Our timely intervention is your best insurance from becoming a victim of ineffective bureaucratic mechanisms and corrupt state officials.

Sanctions

We proud of being a part of common lobbying effort for implementation of sanctions against criminal authorities in different regions of the world – from Venezuela to China – and strives to fight the systematic abuse of power, often on a pro bono basis.
