The legal sector is wide in its variety; from private client to blockchain and to property, family and criminal - they're all equally exciting in their own right but how often are we able to dive deep into the day-to-day life of a solicitor acting in arguably one of the 'juiciest' areas of law?

The term "white-collar crime" refers to a financially motivated, nonviolent or non-directly violent crime committed by individuals, businesses and government professionals and this week, we're chatting to white-collar crime defence lawyer, Tim Harris.

Tim trained as a solicitor at Eversheds, before specialising in business and white-collar crime in the financial services sector, at Bark & Co Solicitors and then Simmons & Simmons. While at Simmons, Tim was a legal secondee at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Now, he is a counsel at Cohen & Gresser LLP, focusing on international and regulatory investigations, regulatory enforcement and financial crime compliance.
