Christopher is an experienced barrister with a diverse common law practice, regularly appearing in courts of all levels in both civil and criminal matters.
Since joining chambers, he has developed a strong and varied practice, with a particular focus on personal injury claims. Christopher is frequently instructed at an early stage, working efficiently with clients—both lay and professional—from initial advice through to settlement or trial.
Beyond personal injury, Christopher represents clients before the appellant courts handling cases involving statutory civil penalty regimes as well as professional discipline matters before regulatory tribunals.
In addition to his civil work, he has a robust criminal practice, prosecuting and defending cases in both the Magistrates’ and Crown Courts.
Before joining chambers, Christopher worked at a prominent international law firm within its in-house advocacy team, gaining valuable experience that has further strengthened his practice.
In another life, Christopher spent a short time in the British Army, which has fostered a particular interest in matters involving the military and public bodies.
Christopher is happy to consider matters for a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) where appropriate.
A North Wales resident, Christopher practises across Manchester, the North, and North Wales, but is willing to travel further afield when required.
Outside of the law, Christopher enjoys playing sport, mainly rugby, where he may lack talent but does not lack enthusiasm.
