Specialist Litigation Solicitor with an Edge
I am the founder of Christopher Burgon Litigation Specialists.
After spending many years working in a number of established West-End law firms, I was disillusioned with what I saw.
I have used my experience to develop a more strategic approach that means you are not only given the right advice from a technical, legal standpoint but also given a way to actually achieve what you want from a dispute, whether that is retaining your company, protecting your property, getting your inheritance, receiving compensation for bad advice or any other resolution.

I also ensure that you are in control of your case, being informed about what is happening without having to chase for information and that you understand why a particular action is being carried out or proposed to you.
As a result I have a rate of success for my clients that rivals or surpasses most West-End and City firms, helping clients achieve what they want, some of whom had lost years, and small fortunes, with other advisors.
I am the Principal of Christopher Burgon Associates. A firm I set up so that I, along with my colleagues, can provide legal services that achieve the results our clients want.

Litigation inevitably involves a great deal of psychology and sometimes, emotional distress. I’m a fully qualified solution focused psychotherapist, helping clients deal with the many stressful situations that can arise and all types of emotional distress from depression and anxiety to phobias, OCD and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I also work in the corporate world offering wellbeing and emotional health training and coaching. My experience includes Fire and Rescue Service, The Shaw Trust, Fortis Bank, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, NHS, Ofsted and SC Johnson. I enjoy helping people and feel privileged to be a member of the Chris Burgon team – a firm that offers far more than other solicitors in this area in my experience.
Helping companies and organisations resolve their disputes is fundamentally about dealing with human beings, understanding their behaviour and deciding upon practical courses of action that will help our clients not just win their case but bring closure to a stressful period in their life.
If you have a dispute, which you believe we can help you with, please contact us.
These are the three key values that underpin our service:
Every client and their wishes is at the centre of our association and I make it a priority to understand you, your wishes and your case. Solicitors can adopt a clinical, perhaps even a cynical attitude toward their clients, which not only makes the experience less pleasant but can also get in the way of the essential communication required between a solicitor and client.
A high standard of service for my clients is always a priority. Rather than being treated as a reference number, caught between an overworked Junior who regards you as an annoyance and a distant Partner interested only in billing, what you need is a service that is built and designed to deliver the results you want and to feel in control of what is happening with you case
It’s easy to get caught up in the emotion of the problem at hand and fail to see the larger issues. Winning a conflict requires taking a broader perspective, seeing things that others miss and careful planning to ensure that each move is made in order to achieve your goal.
We are looking for solicitors, full time or part time who want to be part of a team that focuses on getting results for the clients and making the experience of dispute resolution and litigation as positive as possible.
You will need to be approachable, articulate, understanding and patient. You will need to have the skills and knowledge to run a High Court case worth £1,000,000 from beginning to end, including detailed assessment and enforcement.
You will need to be self-reliant and co-operative, ready to help other members of the team (and to be helped) and to share ideas.
We offer challenging and engaging work, a pleasant, co-operative working environment, a salary based on achievement and the chance to be part of a new growing team.
