Charlie undertakes a wide range of commercial and chancery work in litigation, arbitration and mediation. He has experience of substantial, complex and high-value litigation in the High Court and the Court of Appeal. He also has wide experience in the county courts and in injunction applications. His work is often court-based where he is recognised in the directories as ‘brilliant, the hardest-working counsel I have seen’. He regularly advises companies, partnerships, charities, trusts, and individuals. He worked in the investment banking industry for 15 years before coming to the bar and so has a particular interest and strength in company, investment, valuation and general financial services related matters.

Charlie enjoys running and recently ran the length of the River Wye (150 miles) raising over £32,000 for charity in the process. He has completed over 20 marathons as well as the Marathon des Sables, a race across the Sahara. He also skied 500 miles in a race to the Magnetic North Pole. He enjoys cricket, fishing and horses. He is the chairman of an environmental charity and rivers trust, the Wye and Usk Foundation, and an education endowment charity. Charlie grew up in Gloucestershire and was at school in Bristol.
