Edward’s expertise in extradition law spans over 15 years and during that time, he has provided strategic advice and representation to individuals facing extradition to a wide range of jurisdictions across the world and has an enviable record in defeating such requests, including those emanating from the USA, Russia and India. He has conducted hundreds of Arrest Warrant cases from almost every EU member state. He is currently part of the legal team advising Julian Assange.

Edward also advises on a variety of criminal litigation matters. An experienced criminal defence lawyer, he has conducted a wide range of cases from police station through to trial.
