Isuf Shehu

Isuf Shehu is an Albanian attorney with over 20 years of experience in criminal defense, with a particular focus on complex, cross-border proceedings. His practice centers on extradition, international judicial cooperation in criminal matters, and cases involving foreign-sourced digital evidence, where he coordinates defense strategy alongside foreign counsel across multiple jurisdictions. His experience also extends to financial and economic crime, including corruption, fraud, money laundering, and asset seizure and confiscation proceedings.

He founded Shehu & Partners in Tirana, Albania, a law firm whose practice extends well beyond criminal defense. Alongside its work in complex litigation and cross-border criminal cooperation, the firm advises businesses and individuals across commercial, corporate, and civil matters, supporting clients through contractual disputes, corporate structuring, investment projects, and general legal advisory work. This broader base allows the firm to support clients with continuity across the full range of legal needs that often accompany complex or cross-border matters.

The firm’s work is carried out by a multidisciplinary team, and its international matters are handled in close cooperation with partner firms and counsel abroad.
