Ian Fisher

Ian deals with all aspects of criminal defence and road traffic law. He also deals with “satellite” work related to these core areas. For example, having represented a well-known professional boxer in criminal proceedings, Ian also represented him at a hearing before the British Boxing Board of Control; similarly, having acted for a medical doctor at the Crown Court, Ian represented the client at a subsequent contested hearing before the General Medical Council. Ian has also represented members of the judiciary and the legal profession.

Being from Norwich and having been predominantly educated and working in that “fine City” for most of his career, Ian has developed a strong client following and is widely-regarded as a shrewd legal tactician and a strong advocate.

Notable Cases:

• R v B: Well-known pub landlord accused of murder of a customer, cleared after Crown Court trial
• R v F: Representation of world-famous film and television star in relation to motoring allegations, successfully resolved.
• R v B: Successful appeal to the Court of Appeal on behalf of a client convicted of firearms offences (the case received national media attention)
• The Case of G: This involved a successful businessman charged with a grave offence in Greece. Ian was granted a right of audience by the Greek Court and represented the client in respect of whom the judge and jury panel returned a verdict of “innocent”.
