- Fraud, bribery, money-laundering, and corporate governance matters
- All Canadian criminal matters: including all forms of assaults, drinking and driving, and drug and gun charges

Legal Representation
Across International Borders
The firm of Leo Adler Law has extensive knowledge of extradition cases, as well as international criminal law and procedures. The firm offers effective analysis of the allegations, the foreign laws and the processes you may face, and develops a defence strategy that assesses:
- The viability of the case against you
- The requirements for extradition, including submissions to the Minister
- Representation in foreign jurisdictions
- Issues of bail
Our firm’s principle, Leo Adler, serves as an Adjunct Professor of International Criminal Law at the Osgoode Hall Law School of York University. Mr. Adler is a highly-sought after media commentator, a government consultant on national security, and a member of several international legal defence organizations. As a result, Mr. Adler is uniquely able to deal with international criminal matters, including:
- Extradition cases of Canadians or foreigners in or out of Canada
- Corporate crime, bribery, money laundering and other white-collar crimes
- Extra-territorial criminal allegations
For over forty years, Mr. Adler has been a relentless force in Canadian law, and his cases have often made national and international headlines. Four of his cases became radio plays on CBC Radio “Scales of Justice” program, produced by George Jonas and narrated by Edward (Eddie) Greenspan. When “Scales of Justice” became a television show, one of Mr. Adler’s cases became the basis of a “made for tv” movie.
