Charles Hollander QC

Charles Hollander has been practising as an advocate for thirty years. The breadth of his practice is unusual. Whilst the core of his practice has always been in commercial litigation, whether in the Commercial Court, Chancery Division or in arbitrations, he has extensive expertise in sports law, and other media-related work. He is increasingly used as an advocate in major EU matters, particularly in the High Court, in competition and freedom of establishment cases and also has expertise in professional negligence. As a result of his well-known books Documentary Evidence and Conflicts of Interest he has a specialised practice in those areas: he has argued many of the leading cases in relation to disclosure and legal professional privilege, and has a substantial practice advising law firms on conflicts of interest. He also sits as arbitrator, often in sporting matters, or expert.
