John Milner—IBB Solicitors

White collar crime specialist returns as consultant

IBB Solicitors has announced that John Milner has re-joined the firm as a consultant in its fraud and regulatory team. 

John first worked at IBB in 1989 and re-joins the firm from Irwin Mitchell, a UK top 20 law firm. He is a white collar crime specialist and represents individuals who are the subject of criminal or regulatory investigation. His focus is principally on financial crime ranging from fraud, bribery and corruption to insider dealing and money laundering. 

John has considerable experience in representing owners and company directors in a number of complex missing trader fraud investigations concerning the mobile phone, computer chip and motor vehicle industries. John’s recent work includes being instructed in relation to a major fraud in Gibraltar arising out of the collapse of an international law firm. 

John says: “I am very pleased to be re-joining IBB at a time when fraud and regulatory expertise are in high demand. It’s great to be back on familiar territory and to see how much the firm has grown and developed. I look forward to helping further advance the firm’s expertise in this area.” 

IBB Solicitors’ managing partner, Steven Booth, comments: “We are delighted that John has re-joined IBB at this exciting time. John is a great asset and strengthens the firm’s thriving fraud and regulatory practice as it looks to grow its capabilities in this area.”
