Dispute Resolution

Partner

Chris's expertise covers a broad range of both personal and corporate insolvency on a contentious and non-contentious basis.  Chris advises banks and other financiers, insolvency practitioners, directors and stakeholders as well as creditors on all issues arising in stressed and distressed scenarios.

Chris's particular proficiency relates to contentious insolvency, advising in relation to appointment, complex antecedent transactions and procedural applications made pursuant to the Insolvency Act 1986.  His specific focus is on substantial and highly technical claims brought by insolvency practitioners, often involving fraud, ex-parte injunctions and complex multi-jurisdictional recovery options.

Chris is recognised by Legal 500 as a "client-focused problem solver" and someone who "combines great technical ability with a commercial approach."
