Position
Having practised in common law from pupillage onwards, Max now maintains a mixed practice of family and civil work alongside representing Interested Parties at Inquests.
Max has appeared twice in the Court of Appeal, both in the Criminal and Family Division. His most recent appearance in Re: B was a case that set an enduring precedent for how family proceedings have taken place at interim hearings during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Prior to being called to the Bar he worked as a County Court Advocate, as well as working with Gerard McDermott KC on all aspects of high-value cases of catastrophic personal injury, in particular involving elements of travel law, cross-border or jurisdictional issues.
