Extradition, as a legal instrument that transcends the territorial limitations of jurisdiction, is of great significance due to the importance of cooperation between states in the field of criminal law. At the same time, it presents considerable challenges, especially because it is a complex legal institution that impacts not only criminal law but also international law and procedural law.

The expertise of GÓMEZ DE LIAÑO & MÁRQUEZ DE PRADO in this field, combined with the experience of certain team members who have practised before the National Court (Audiencia Nacional) — the sole authority competent in matters of passive extradition — constitutes the best guarantee of effective legal defence. This also applies to claims arising from the European Arrest Warrant (EAW), which is a simplified, cross-border judicial procedure initiated by the judicial authority of any European Union member state.
