Chris has worked as a legal advisor with the Institute of Directors (IoD) Directors’ Advisory Service since 2009. He gives advice on company, commercial and contract law, intellectual property law, banking and insolvency matters and company secretarial practice. Chris is excellent at getting to grips quickly with our members’ legal issues, and giving practical, succinct and jargon-free advice. He is knowledgeable, helpful and has a highly professional manner.
I am delighted to recommend Chris whom I have known for a number of years since appointing him as one or the legal advisors with the IoD's Directors' Advisory Service. Chris can advise on a broad range of legal matters, which has been a great asset for the Service. His knowledge and friendly approach have won him many a praise from IoD members and staff alike. It was a pleasure to work with Chris.
When we first appointed Chris, our company was in crisis with errant directors, complex lease disputes, shareholder and corporate governance issues. Taking a pragmatic approach to legal matters with a focus on strategy and end results, his unbiased analysis, identification of risk and honest opinion has always put us in the best possible position, delivering excellent results. Chris has been instrumental in transforming our company fortunes and through his diligence and professionalism, has ensured that we have every confidence we always receive first- rate representation. I cannot recommend his services highly enough.

I have been fortunate to have had Chris Browne’s advice on a wide variety of commercial legal matters over recent years and I have been consistently impressed with the quality support that he has been able to provide. I have found that he works very efficiently to understand each new situation and then develops and delivers practical solutions that have often led to very favourable outcomes for us. It’s very reassuring as an owner of an SME to know that you are getting excellent legal advice at a reasonable cost.
