Max joined 42BR following the successful completion of his pupillage in October 2023. He is developing a broad practice, with a particular interest in family law and employment law.
Max read Law at the University of Cambridge and completed the BPTC at City, University of London, before being called to the Bar in 2021. During his studies, Max volunteered with Advocate, Liberty and the Free Representation Unit. After graduating, he amassed a broad range of litigation experience, working for a leading international law firm and two boutique litigation specialists.
Outside work, Max enjoys watching and playing sport. He is particularly keen on rugby, having been awarded a Cambridge Blue for competing in the 2014 and 2015 Varsity Matches. These days, he finds he is less injury prone watching from the sidelines.
Employment Law
Max acts for employees and employers across all areas of employment law, with particular expertise in claims under the Equality Act. Max regularly advises on each step of the litigation, including the merits of settlement. He also has experience drafting pleadings and case management documents in preparation for hearings.
Recent matters include:
- Representing the claimant in an unfair dismissal case and negotiating a favourable settlement on day 1 of the Final Hearing.
- Representing the respondent, a national supermarket, in a 4 day Final Hearing and successfully defending claims for unfair dismissal and disability discrimination.
- Successfully resisting an application for reconsideration on behalf of the Respondent following strike out of a claim for discrimination.
