Everything about Fixer (person)
Person who solves problems for others
A fixer is someone who is assigned or contracted to solve problems for others. The meaning of the term varies by context. In British or Commonwealth countries it refers to a person such as a special adviser who "gets things done". In American English it implies that the methods used are of questionable morality or legality: in organized crime, fixers dispose of incriminating physical evidence such as bodies or witnesses; in sports a fixer is someone who pre-arranges the outcome of a contest; in journalism a fixer is a local person who expedites the work of a (foreign) correspondent. The term may also refer to an unscrupulous or criminally-acting attorney. Wikipedia →
