Chris is the Head of the Commercial Department and leads a team of specialist commercial lawyers across commercial contracts, intellectual property, IT and data and privacy.
Within our team, we are focussed on service and delivery so that our clients enjoy working with us and regard us as an extension of their own in-house legal or commercial teams.
Chris works with some of the most dynamic businesses in the UK ranging from start-ups and early-stage businesses right through to national and international brands.
His main areas of focus are commercial contracts and data protection work. Chris assists clients with the drafting and negotiation of complex contracts including tech contracts, outsourcing contracts, distribution contracts, agency contracts and franchising contracts. His data protection work involves data protection audits, the preparation of policies and procedures and advising on data sharing arrangements usually with an international aspect.
Prior to joining Marriott Harrison, Chris worked as Head of Legal for a large IT and engineering recruitment agency, so he has experience in providing legal advice from an in-house counsel and business perspective.
