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.

I can't thank them enough for getting us through some really tough times and doing so with an amazing can-do attitude.”

“They are friendly, fast, always available and always on top of the game. I tend to judge my legal team against the other side's legal team and never doubt Mills & Reeve is the better of the two.”

“All interactions have been very clear. Responses to questions have always been very swift and unambiguous. Our company, and my family, have used various services in Mills & Reeve with the same level of satisfaction.”

“I value the fact that Mills & Reeve are recognised as a good place to work in the UK Best Companies survey. This aligns with the values of our business and means that Mills & Reeve can share what is required to achieve this status with our business.”
