Jonathan Fisher KC writes for New Law Journal as columnist

Leading financial crime barrister Jonathan Fisher KC has joined NLJ’s prestigious band of columnists. He will write 6 NLJ columns a year, covering financial crime, corporate crime and economic sanctions issues.

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.”

“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,” commented Jonathan Fisher KC.

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.”

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. He is also a Senior Fellow and Visiting Professor at the London School of Economics, and in a part-time role he is currently chairing the government’s independent review into disclosure of unused material in criminal cases and fraud offences.
