Gatehouse Chambers

Personal injury, professional negligence, residential and commercial property disputes

Mark is interested in all areas of Chambers’ practice, with a particular focus on personal injury, professional negligence, and residential and commercial property disputes. He has extensive experience of witness handling and trial advocacy, and a broad written practice.

Prior to joining Gatehouse Chambers in 2024, Mark appeared in over 2,400 hearings as an advocate in the County Court, in a variety of general civil, property, personal injury, insolvency and consumer credit hearings. Due to the experience gained prior to pupillage, Mark was granted a substantial reduction in the length of his pupillage by the Bar Standards Board.

Mark recently appeared in a six-day High Court trial, Christie v Mary Ward Legal Centre [2025] EWHC 330 (KB), led by Peter Petts alongside David Lipson, defending a complex professional liability claim involving negligent advice given in a property matter.

Mark is a member of PIBA, and routinely drafts headnotes for the Personal Injury and Quantum Reports (PIQR) (Sweet & Maxwell).

Mark studied undergraduate Law at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and completed the Bar Professional Training Course at City Law School.
