Christopher enjoys a varied common law practice appearing before Courts of all levels in both civil and criminal matters.
Immediately before joining chambers, Christopher was employed by a prominent international law firm within their in-house advocacy offering. In the course of his employment Christopher was regularly engaged in matters concerning personal injury, insurance recoveries, credit hire, and commercial disputes; he has also been instructed on more niche matters involving data protection and Equality Act arguments; he is adept at attending all hearing types in all courts, including CCMC’s, interlocutory applications, and trials.
Christopher enjoys a developing paperwork practice and accepts instructions to advise on both liability and quantum as well as the settlement of pleadings.
In another life, Christopher spent a short time in the British Army and therefore has a keen interest in matters involving both the military and public bodies.
Christopher accepts instructions on a CFA basis where appropriate.
Alongside his civil practice, Christopher enjoys a developing criminal practice which sees him appearing regularly in both the Magistrates and Crown Court for both the Prosecution and the Defence.
Outside of the law Christopher enjoys playing sport, mainly rugby, where he may lack talent but does not lack enthusiasm.
Chris will practise across Manchester, the North and North Wales. Chris lives in St Asaph in North Wales and this will provide him with a platform to cover hearings and cases in North Wales.
