Lawrence Lever is a journalist and entrepreneur, best known for his work investigating The Barlow Clowes Affair.[2]

Education

Lawrence Lever was educated at Manchester Grammar School, and went on to Study Law at Brasenose College in Oxford University. After earning his degree, he decided not to pursue law, but instead chose a career in journalism.

Career

Lever joined The Times in 1985 although he originally began his career as a trained and qualified solicitor.[3] In the 1990s he changed his career towards journalism.[4]

Leaver was notable for his work in the publication of an investigative journalism piece about Barlow Clowes. He gained his knowledge and research whilst working as the assistant editor of the Times, later gaining a position as an editor [5] of the Mail On Sunday. He helped to shed light to the crimes committed by Clowes in the city of London, as well as providing an insight into the childhood life of Clowes and his rise.[6][7] His discoveries and research were collaborated into a single book, 'The Barlow Clowes Affair'.[8]

Lever went on to leave the newspaper publishing business to start up Citywire with Richard Lander and David Turner in 1999,[9][10] dedicated to providing consumer and professional financial information.[11] With experience in financial editing, Lever oversaw the creation of Citywire's first industry magazine.[12]
