Alistair Graham
White & Case
Sector: Litigation

White & Case London litigation head Alistair Graham was one of the most outspoken critics of the UK’s extradition agreement with the US during the past year.

Graham is acting for retired businessman Ian Norris in his attempts to escape extradition to the US on price-fixing charges. Attempts to secure judicial review of the extradition regime failed, but Graham fought on against the decisions in Norris’s individual case.

But Graham has also been working on the political front, combining forces with the Conservative Party to draft amendments to the Police and Justice Bill in an attempt to secure trial in the UK for UK citizens accused of offences such as those against Norris. Although Graham has a high barrier to surmount, his efforts have helped to make the debate over extradition public and have alerted businesses to the pitfalls of the current regime.
