Position

Christopher specialises in commercial and chancery litigation with an emphasis on civil fraud and asset recovery claims. He frequently appears in the High Court (led and unled) in freezing injunction and other interim remedy applications and trials involving allegations of dishonesty or fraud.

Most of his cases have an international element which start in the English courts with applications for injunctive relief and permission to serve foreign defendants. He has acted in some of the largest civil fraud claims in the English courts in recent years, including PrivatBank v Kolomoisky, Vale v Steinmetz, Mezphrom Bank v Pugachev and BTA Bank v Ablyazov.

He is frequently instructed in litigation involving breaches of fiduciary duty and breaches of trust; unfair prejudice and other Companies Act remedies; and corporate and personal insolvency.
