Welcome to DELF
The Defence Extradition Lawyer’s Forum was established in 2016 by a collection of barristers and solicitors from the founding firms and chambers. DELF’s primary purpose is to bring those together who represent requested persons against extradition requests, to share knowledge, improve collegiality and provide a representative voice for practitioners and requested persons.
DELF has over 250 members and its educational and social events provide unrivalled opportunities for keeping pace with this ever-growing and fast-changing area of legal practice.

DELF events are also fantastic networking opportunities and a brilliant way to meet practitioners across jurisdictions. Beyond social and educational events, DELF seeks to respond to relevant consultations and has liaison relationships with the Chief Magistrate and the Administrative Court Office. In 2022, DELF became a collective member of the European Criminal Bar Association and it welcomes members from across the globe.
