Supporting your ambitions

Christian doesn't just provide practical, solution-focused legal advice to education, government and corporate occupier clients - his strong technical ability and deep sector expertise is, and should be, a given - it's the collaborative approach that stands out. 

When required, Christian works with clients' estates, management and senior leadership teams as an approachable sounding board or a second opinion. This is particularly important on significant capital projects involving multiple parties, where the reputational/strategic issues and risks can sometimes be as important to clients as the legal ones.
