This regularly includes substantial assets, company, partnership, trust, bankruptcy, ill health and inheritance factors as well as cases with an international dimension. He is ranked in Chambers and Partners as a "Leader in his field".Chris has acted for hundreds of clients throughout England, from Berwick-upon-Tweed to Barnstaple, although his practice is primarily in and around London. Chris has acted for clients from throughout the EU, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Asia, Australia and North America. His caseload is primarily FDR’s. However, he is often instructed on final hearings even when he has not conducted the FDR, where his witness handling skills from long running, multi-party and multi-witness cases can be crucial.
