Chris is recognised as one of the UK’s leading fintech lawyers and brings a wealth of experience in advising FinTechs and institutions on a wide range of issues, including technology contracting, payments, software, data, IP licensing, AI, and open banking.
He is known as a thought leader and a vocal supporter of financial services innovation, representing start-ups, growth companies, and major institutions. Chris boasts a distinguished track record of working on technology contracts and regulatory issues both within and outside the financial services sector, specialising in helping clients navigate legal issues and partnerships as they look to innovate.
Speaking about the addition to the team, senior partner Gavin Foggo said: “We are thrilled to welcome Chris. His career success and comprehensive understanding of the legal intricacies in the rapidly evolving tech and FinTech sectors will add value to our current team and clients. This partner hire underlines our commitment to providing top-tier legal services to our clients in an ever-evolving business landscape.”
In joining Fox Williams, Chris commented: “I’m really excited to be joining Fox Williams with its reputation for client service, its pragmatic and commercial approach, its impressive capabilities in the crossover between tech and financial regulation, and its deep experience in servicing tech and fintech clients ranging from the earliest start-ups to major institutions.
“I very much look forward to plugging in my own expertise to further enhance the firm’s profile in this vibrant market and bolster its fintech offering.”
Chris joins former Deloitte Legal colleagues who have recently joined Fox Williams, namely Richard Aitchison (legal director) and Stewart Cook (senior associate) who will be led by Chris as part of the existing FinTech team, bolstering the financial services, and commerce and technology teams. This reinforces Fox Williams’ position as a preeminent law firm in the FinTech field.
