Charles Strachan has a busy commercial chancery practice that covers the range of Chambers’ core areas of specialism, in particular civil fraud and commercial disputes both domestic and international. He is a co-author of the disputes chapter in Crypto and Digital Assets Law and Regulation and has a keen interest in group/mass litigation.

The international element of Charles’ practice extends from Singapore to the Middle East and the Caribbean. Charles has particular experience of disputes in the DIFC, ADGM and QIFC having spent six months seconded to a large international law firm’s Dubai office and is DIFC Part II Registered.

Charles is often instructed to appear as a sole advocate in multi-day trials. In addition to being instructed as sole counsel he is very happy to (and regularly does) work as part of a wider team.

Prior to joining Chambers, Charles spent a year at the Court of Appeal as the Judicial Assistant to Lord Justice David Richards (now Lord Richards), tutored trusts to undergraduate law students at UCL and worked as a research assistant to the editors of the current edition of Underhill and Hayton: Law of Trusts and Trustees.
