Criminal defence that crosses borders. International Lawyers Associates is an international criminal law firm assisting suspects, defendants and injured parties in proceedings that span multiple jurisdictions: extradition, the European Arrest Warrant, Interpol Red Notices, judicial cooperation, and economic and corporate crime. With offices in Naples, Milan and Rome, a presence in Madrid, Bogotá and Dubai and a network of foreign correspondents, the firm is available 24/7 for arrests and emergencies, replies within one hour and brings over twenty years of experience in international criminal law.
Why an internationally focused criminal firm
Many criminal proceedings today do not stop at a single country’s borders: an arrest abroad, a surrender request, an investigation into cross-border financial flows all require expertise that goes beyond domestic criminal law. A firm with international experience knows the treaties, the cooperation procedures, and how to coordinate a defence across different jurisdictions.
ILA was founded with this vocation: to assist Italian and foreign clients in situations that intertwine multiple legal systems, from extradition to economic crime, with an integrated approach and a network of corresponding lawyers.

When should you turn to an international criminal firm?
Whenever the proceedings have a cross-border element: an arrest abroad, an extradition request or a surrender under a European Arrest Warrant, an Interpol Red Notice, an investigation involving companies or financial flows in several countries, or the need to coordinate a defence with foreign authorities and lawyers. In these cases, international expertise makes the difference.
