Jim Meyer

Jim has 30 years’ experience as a specialist criminal litigator and regulatory enforcement lawyer; he is widely regarded as one of the UK's best criminal lawyers and consistently ranks as a top criminal solicitor in the leading industry directories. Jim has acted in some of the UK’s most high-profile criminal cases, including notorious murders, terrorism, international conspiracies and sex cases, but his practice is now focused on business crime, particularly investigations involving the Environment Agency; the Health and Safety Executive; the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency; and the consumer protection and environmental health protection departments of local authorities.

 

He is a member of the Law Society’s Professional Standards and Conduct Committee. He has represented the legal profession in negotiations with the Legal Aid Agency and the Ministry of Justice in relation to the structure and operation of funding schemes, and helped develop his previous firm’s billing and case management system.

 

In 2023, Jim co-founded Egan Meyer Limited, a boutique criminal defence firm based in Mayfair and a current client of LawPage. Jim is also proficient in a number of programming and database languages, and he has used this expertise to identify how best to streamline a lawyer’s professional practice and design features of the LawPage case management system. As CTO, working closely with the developers, he is responsible for the design and the logic that underpins the LawPage practice management software. Jim tests the software daily in the practice of his firm and with the other law firms that have adopted the platform.
