Dear friends and colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the programme for this October’s London Extradition Conference.
Supported by the Law Friends team, leading London practitioners will deliver an upbeat, accessible day of specialist training.

This full-day 7-CPD course is designed for practitioners across the profession, combining current legal developments with practical guidance for confident extradition practice.

Leading Extradition Practitioners

Our speaker line-up includes Rebecca Hill and Sophia Herridge of 5 St Andrew’s Hill; Beheshteh Engineer and David Ball of The 36 Group. George Hepburne Scott of Church Court Chambers, and Honor Fitzgerald of Furnival Chambers. We are also delighted to welcome the return of headline speaker, Fred Macintosh KC (Scot) of Great James Street Chambers.

We are delighted to showcase our outstanding women in this profession, and to encourage greater participation by newer, more junior counsel as well.

We also invite you to support Law Friends’ continuing work with Valerie Charbit of Red Lion Chambers and Nicola Shannon KC of Furnival Chambers on the “Callout for Kindness Ambassadors”, an initiative attracting global attention.

Accessible, Practical Training

Our conferences combine an energetic, inclusive atmosphere with essential guidance from highly experienced practitioners. The programme will focus on:

  • case preparation;
  • client care;
  • ethics;
  • courtroom advocacy; and
  • practice across international jurisdictions.

Newer practitioners are warmly welcomed. Our inclusive approach brings junior lawyers and established specialists together throughout the day—because together, we are Law Friends.

Essential Extradition Law Updates

Delegates can expect a lively programme covering the key developments required for confident practice and annual continuing competence obligations.

The course combines substantive legal updates with practical insight from experienced practitioners working at the forefront of extradition law.

Scheduled ahead of the annual practising certificate sign-off period, the conference provides a full day of relevant, specialist training.
