He was recently shortlisted for the Professional Discipline Junior of the Year award at the Chambers & Partners UK Bar Awards 2024. He has appeared before all major healthcare regulators, as well as teaching, surveying, and accountancy bodies, and in addition to fitness to practise proceedings, has appeared in the High Court both for and against regulators.

Christopher’s practice is primarily focused on professional disciplinary work. In healthcare regulation, he regularly prosecutes and defends in the General Medical Council, General Dental Council, General Optical Council, General Pharmaceutical Council, General Chiropractic Council, and the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and has also appeared in internal disciplinary proceedings.

Outside healthcare, he has appeared in numerous cases before the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

He has extensive experience with both Article 2 inquests and jury inquests, advising and advocating at all stages.
