Individual Editorial
Chris Barnes is a well-respected junior who is well versed in both public and private law work. He has experience in cases involving radicalisation and also has particular expertise in adoption cases.
Strengths
Instructing him is like instructing a silk as he's really clever and really tactically astute. He's quietly formidable - when I see other barristers around him, they pale in comparison.
Chris is calm, intelligent and articulate. His advocacy is excellent and he is wonderfully adept at explaining complex concepts to vulnerable clients. A real go-to barrister for children work.
Chris is a brilliant advocate, who goes over and above for his clients. His calm, confident and robust approach means his client's case is put in the best possible way.
