Chris Sweeney

I have nearly 10 years' experience of advising clients in relation to a wide range of contentious issues.

I have extensive High Court experience, including high-value multi-jurisdictional contractual and commercial disputes.  My clients include corporate entities as well as high net worth individuals.

My recent cases at Fieldfisher include:

• Acting for a high net worth individual in relation to a worldwide freezing order worth £2.6bn, including advising on whether proposed transactions can be carried out by the client within the terms of the order and assisting on an application to discharge the order.
• Acting for companies owning the image rights of a Premier League footballer in a High Court claim.
• Acting for a high net worth individual in relation to a worldwide freezing order worth £200 million, including assisting on an application to vary the terms of the freezing order.

I have recently concluded working on the trial of one of the Lawyer magazine's "Top 20 Case of 2019".

In my spare time I enjoy running, boxing, swimming and searching for my children in soft play centres.
