Christian Balderstone
Solicitor

Christian read law at King’s College London where he obtained a first class degree. He later studied for a postgraduate diploma in legal practice at City, University of London before completing his solicitor training at a specialist litigation firm based in Gray’s Inn.

He has extensive litigation experience, at all levels of court. Christian acted in a 22-week trial in the high court over a c. £237M claim for breach of directors duties, civil fraud and wrongful trading. He also appeared in the Supreme Court in a landmark case on the remedies available against the dishonest assistant to director in breach of fiduciary duties in a case worth c. £167M.

Christian is now advancing his practice in the field of tax and is rapidly developing his expertise in trust and estate planning, as well as contentious matters before the Tax Tribunal. He is undertaking STEP training and will take the higher rights course to personally advocate for his clients in court.

Outside of work, he enjoys practising Muay Thai and learning German.
