Leading financial crime barrister Jonathan Fisher KC has joined NLJ’s prestigious band of columnists
The Red Lion Chambers silk is also a senior fellow and visiting professor at the London School of Economics and is currently chairing the government’s independent review into disclosure of unused material in criminal cases and fraud offences. This is a part-time role conducted from Chambers.
NLJ consultant editor David Greene said: ‘Jonathan’s expertise in financial crime and disclosure is super territory for NLJ. His contributions promise to be enlightening and a must-read for all practitioners and NLJ readers.’
Jonathan Fisher KC (pictured) said: ‘New Law Journal combines the best in topical legal writing for legal practitioners and law academics alike, and I am delighted to formalise my long-standing relationship as a NLJ columnist covering developments in financial crime cases and legislation.’
NLJ editor Jan Miller said: ‘Jonathan has been writing for NLJ for over a decade and is one of our most-read authors. We are delighted that he has now joined us as a columnist. His high-profile and unmatched expertise in civil, criminal and regulatory work will help ensure NLJ remains at the forefront of legal debate.’
Earlier this year, Jonathan represented the World Uyghur Congress in its successful application for judicial review against the National Crime Agency. At issue was the agency’s decision not to open a money laundering investigation into the trade of cotton despite evidence of widespread forced labour.
Jonathan’s NLJ columns will cover financial and corporate crime, economic sanctions and financial services regulation, as well as tax investigations and disputes. His debut column appears in this week’s issue.
