Chris is a Senior Associate in JMW's Employment department in London. He works for businesses of all sizes as well as senior executives, on both advisory and contentious matters. Chris provides advice that is straightforward and practical, while also giving my clients the technical legal detail they need.

His clients come from all sorts of sectors, but he has particular experience with life sciences, financial and professional services, engineering, technology, media and entertainment. Chris has worked with C-suite executives, fellow lawyers, and well-known figures in media, politics and sport.

Chris' work covers all areas of employment law, including adjacent issues like partnership and contractors; and the whole employment life-cycle from contracts and documentation, to HR processes, to exit negotiations and litigation. He has often worked on matters involving neurodiverse employees, confidentiality/covenant breaches, and the use of AI.

Chris is a member of the Employment Lawyers Association.

I completed my law degree at the University of Cambridge in 2015, and the Legal Practice Course at BPP University in 2018. Prior to joining JMW in 2021, I trained at another UK top 100 law firm.

Away from work, I am an avid gamer (with a past life in grassroots esports), a keen home cook, and a massive Arsenal fan.

"I really cannot thank yourself & Chris enough for all of the work that you have done, your help, guidance & patience with me regarding this matter. I will be forever grateful for your support."

"Thank you again, to you and the team, for all your incredibly hard work and thoughtful, kind support throughout this process for us. Without you all, it would have been immeasurably more difficult and you made it go as smoothly and manageable as it could have gone, with an excellent final result. We are extremely grateful and very happy to have met you!"

"It’s been a rollercoaster 2 months (ish) for me as I obviously was in a different and difficult space when we first spoke. However, your support and counsel has allowed me get to the finishing line - thank you very much!"

"Chris and Anita provided an excellent service. They worked hard to understand the material facts and strength of the case, and ensured that there was appropriate supporting evidence to meet a threshold to progress. They both very quickly built a very clear understanding of the case, structured a logical and robust claim strategy and led on direct negotiations. They managed the process very effectively, and ensured that progress was brought back to me to ensure continued alignment, and to agree next steps, as discussions developed. As well as providing me with support, they built strong professional relationships with the other party’s representatives and concluded matters quickly. They took care to ensure that the appropriate changes were made to the proposed drafting. The team were recommended to me on the basis that they were robust, knowledgeable and delivered good outcomes for their client, and they certainly delivered that for me."
