Dr Jonathan Gilbert

I am a former solicitor and consultant in financial crime, risk and compliance and I am a Lecturer in Law on the LLB degree course at UWE where I also supervise LLM students. I am a visiting lecturer in the area of financial crime and criminal justice at both Cardiff and Manchester University. 

My research interests lie in financial crime and regulation, including criminological theories for white-collar crime. I was awarded my PhD from Cardiff University in June 2023 where my qualitative doctoral research involved an examination of the organisation of mortgage fraud and its relationship to the governance, control and regulation of financial services in the UK. I was supervised by globally recognized white collar crime academic, Professor Mike Levi. 

I have delivered learning content and presented widely, both at home and internationally, at numerous academic, government, counter fraud and criminal justice conferences, masterclasses and seminars on financial crime, failure to prevent, ethical slippage, governance, regulation and compliance, professional enablers, and the criminal justice system. Audiences, stakeholders, and partners have included the Home Office, the Cabinet Office, the Serious Fraud Office, the Financial Conduct Authority, the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the International Compliance Association, the Dutch Ministry for Justice and Security, UNODC and UK banks and building societies. 

I am the founder of IN8consulting.com, a financial crime advisory business and I sit on several committees, including the Wales Fraud Forum and the Prisoners Education Trust. I have contributed to academic, and policy led research projects and engage in voluntary work to improve rehabilitative and restorative opportunities in the criminal justice system, particularly in the field of further education. To this end, I have appeared on multiple Podcasts and has been a regular contributor/interviewee for talkRADIO, talkTV and BBC Radio 4.
