Personal Injury; Clinical Negligence
Chris completed pupillage at Exchange Chambers in 2007. Since then he has established a strong practice in personal injury and clinical negligence work, principally for claimants (but with experience of acting for defendants).
He works exclusively in multi-track litigation including cases involving catastrophic injury and undertakes all aspects of advisory and court work.
He prides himself on good relationships with solicitors, quick turnaround of paperwork and flexibility in addressing case management issues. This coupled with determined court advocacy has resulted in Chris being a much sought after advocate.
Called 2006.
Chris was born in sight of Old Trafford and grew up in Salford so it is unsurprising that he is an avid Manchester United fan. He has a young family that keeps him busy but spends spare time at the gym and is a Level 1 CrossFit coach. He ‘tweets’ as often as possible about interesting publications, news and case law (follow him: @GutteridgeChris). Chris is a co-founder of ‘All Rise’ – a project designed to tackle bullying, harassment and discrimination at the Bar (All Rise (The Bar) – Open Collective). He is also a member of the Northern Circuit Equality, Diversity and Social Mobility Committee.
