Summary
Ben Keith is an international barrister with over a decade of practice representing founders, FTSE 100 directors and high-profile clients across extradition, human rights and complex commercial matters. Based at 5 St Andrew's Hill, he combines courtroom advocacy with policy work—founding International Human Rights Advisors and editing Red Notice Monitor to spotlight misuse of international notices. His background includes prosecuting extradition cases at the Crown Prosecution Service and lecturing in human rights at Birkbeck, reflecting a rare perspective from both prosecution and defence. He has chaired specialist forums and associations, helping shape professional responses to fraud and extradition challenges. Comfortable operating at the intersection of law, policy and education, he brings strategic judgment to high-stakes cross-border disputes. An academic grounding in history and economics rounds out his practical advocacy with contextual analysis often missed in routine legal briefs.
