Nick Ross
Nick is a Trainee Solicitor in the Criminal Defence team. He was previously an Accredited Police Station Representative.
Prior to working in criminal defence, Nick had a successful career as a journalist and a magazine editor, during which time he spent several years living and working in Southeast Asia. He began making the transition to working in the legal profession in 2018.
With two graduate diplomas under his belt, Nick initially earnt his stripes as a paralegal before obtaining accreditation as a Police Station Legal Representative. This has led to him representing suspects arrested for allegations as wide-ranging as assault by beating, stalking, arson with intent, outraging public decency, the supply of class A controlled substances, ABH, sexual assault and murder.
Since early 2024, Nick has been working on Crown Court matters and has developed a strong understanding of the processes and procedures a matter goes through in its path from being sent up to the Crown Court, through to trial and sentence. He has represented clients charged with a range of offences including rape, robbery, affray, false imprisonment, strangulation, s18 GBH, cultivation of cannabis and possession of a disguised firearm.
Nick’s background as a journalist and his growing knowledge of the processes and procedures of the criminal justice system have proven invaluable to his role as a trainee solicitor. Nick brings his passion and wide-ranging skillset to his role at IBB Law.
