Mutual Legal Assistance
If you're dealing with criminal investigations that span jurisdictions, your legal strategy needs to go beyond the immediate request. From overseas disclosure demands to political enforcement risks, you need advice that protects your rights now and supports your long-term security across jurisdictions.
How can Irwin Mitchell help?
You will receive input shaped by experience across mutual legal assistance procedures and international investigations, including Department of Justice requests, production orders, and treaty cooperation. That means clarity, control, and a legal framework built to stand up to global scrutiny.
From investigation to resolution, we act as an extension to your team, helping you protect your interests, reduce disruption, and move decisively under pressure.
We can support with:
- Department of Justice requests and overseas cooperation
- Resisting or responding to mutual legal assistance treaties
- UK and international production orders and subpoenas
- Strategic defence planning in multi-jurisdictional investigations
- Political risk mitigation and reputational defence
- Specialist representation in foreign courts and extradition contexts.
You will also benefit from fully integrated advice across fraud, tax crime, corruption, and regulatory enforcement, helping you manage risk holistically and plan tactically beyond the current matter.
