Isobel McCarroll

Isobel McCarroll’s practice focuses on defending serious, complex and high profile general crime and fraud cases, inquests and mediations.

Isobel is regularly instructed in some of the most complex criminal defence cases across London and the South Eastern Circuit including murder, firearms, kidnap, gang on gang stabbings and the full spectrum of serious sexual offences. She is particularly experienced in cases involving multi-handed conspiracies and shootings, gang-related violence and other organised crime cases, including large scale drug supply and importation cases.

She is an experienced fraud and financial crime practitioner. Her work in this area encompasses high value data theft, money laundering, mortgage fraud and banking identity fraud.

She offers particular experience in the representation of vulnerable defendants and cases involving vulnerable witnesses and sensitive issues such as mental ill-health, autism, learning difficulties and ADHD.

Isobel regularly provides training courses for Gray’s Inn in advocacy involving vulnerable witnesses, ethics for both new and established practitioners, and equality, diversity and inclusion.

Isobel accepts instructions on both a private and legally aided basis and in limited cases will consider direct access and pro bono cases from members of the public.
