Our very own Marie Poirot is featured in Issue 29 of the Defence Extradition Lawyers Forum newsletter. Marie accesses the challenges of French national arrest warrants pertaining to extradition and European Arrest Warrant (EAW) cases. « The validity of the underlying arrest warrant to an EAW or a request for extradition deserves close examination: challenging the arrest warrant could lead to a decision, rendering not only the arrest warrant, but consequently the EAW or the extradition process void. In some cases, it can also lead to rendering void the concerned individual’s indictment, » explains Marie. View the PDF HERE

Bonifassi Advocats was recognized as an honoree for Regional Investigations Practice of the Year by GIR Awards 2022.

Business and Legal Forums nominated Stéphane Bonifassi for the 2022 “Les Plumes” Award for his published work in the legal category.

Stéphane Bonifassi spoke candidly with “Parlons Vrai chez Bourdin” on Sud Radio about justice in France.

Who’s Who Legal Asset Recovery recognized Elena Fedorova as “one to watch out for in the market,” and Stéphane Bonifassi as “a market-leading lawyer, among the finest asset recovery specialists.”

Stéphane Bonifassi illuminates the French justice precedent of protecting its citizens against extradition and suspects Canada will not succeed in bringing accused priest Johannes Rivoire to trial for charges of assault.

La justice française doit sortir d’une logique de production de jugements en masse. C’est cette logique qui l’épuise et l’étouffe. Pour cela, tout en permettant un accès large à la justice, elle doit favoriser le règlement amiable des différends.

Stéphane Bonifassi urges the French court system to look to the example of European neighbors and consider a better plan for due process: rethink how justice is served, reduce the number of cases that go to trial, and improve efficiency in conducting these trials.
