Christopher has an interest in a broad range of civil and commercial disputes. He has experience in shareholder disputes, directors’ duties litigation, restructuring and insolvency issues, regulatory and public law matters and contractual disputes across industries, including the financial services, energy and retail sectors. He also has an interest in civil fraud and asset tracing matters. Christopher is also adept at working with UK, US, and international counsel to implement a joined-up global strategy where multi-jurisdictional parallel proceedings are afoot.
Prior to joining Harneys in 2025, he focussed on complex company law disputes relating to directors’ duties and the rights of shareholders. Christopher spent several years working in Jersey and then in London (at another leading offshore firm), on a wide range of Jersey and BVI matters, primarily relating to general commercial litigation, trusts, and private wealth disputes. Before moving into offshore law, Christopher trained as an English solicitor with Freshfields in London, where he also undertook a secondment with their Paris arbitration team. He has also worked in the contentious insurance practice of another major UK international firm.
Christopher has authored and published several articles about Jersey and international legal issues. His work includes the article "Peoples and Postcolonial Self-Determination in Southeast Asia," published in the Australian Journal of Asian Law. He has also contributed to the Jersey and Guernsey Law Review, the Practical Law Arbitration Blog, and co-authored the Jersey chapter of the Global Legal Post's “Commercial Litigation and Cross-border Enforcement.”
