Barrister Ian Whitehurst from Exchange Chambers in Liverpool has been appointed to a number of new academic roles, reflecting his expertise in financial and cyber-crime.
Ian has been appointed as a guest lecturer at Northumbria University in financial crime and a guest lecturer at Nottingham University in cyber-crime. He will deliver a series of lectures over the next academic year.
The appointments complement Ian’s existing role as an associate lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University. He has also been invited to deliver a guest lecture at Galway University in February 2022 in relation to the use of technology in the criminal trial process.
This follows on from a previous series of guest lectures at Galway, Ulster Universities & University College, Dublin on cyber related crime issues. Ian, who has long been ranked a leading junior in Chambers UK and the Legal 500 said: “It is very fulfilling to help develop the next generation of lawyers.”
