“I want clients to feel able to pick up the phone and ask me for help”
“I have a broad practice, working in a range of sectors - but most of my work is acting for or acquiring FCA regulated businesses in insurance or wider financial services. Most of my work has an international element. The most common area is Scandinavia, particularly Sweden.
I provide a high-level of service efficiently - minimising client cost, but delivering the right result.
I always give clear advice, quickly and efficiently. I want clients to feel able to pick up the phone and ask me for help, whether in my area of expertise or not.”
Chris’s recent work highlights:
Acting for Assured Partners on a number of its insurance broker acquisitions over the last few years.
