As a veteran corporate and finance attorney, Mr. Harrison’s vast industry experience encompasses acquisitions, disposals and workouts; royalty financings, restructurings and sales of various distressed multi-national businesses. He also advises corporates, funds and bondholder groups on equity and debt capital market issuances and on effective implementation of capital.
In addition to his legal advisory practice, Mr. Harrison has extensive management experience and regularly advises Boards, CEOs, C-Suite executives and other stakeholders on a wide range of corporate, financial and regulatory issues. Mr. Harrison has served as a non-executive director to a number of businesses.
Recognized as a high-calibre financial services attorney, Mr. Harrison has been ranked as a top tier lawyer by legal directories, including Legal 500 UK, for Corporate M&A and Emerging Markets.
Mr. Harrison said “I am delighted to have joined the London office of Curtis. I am looking forward to working with my new colleagues to help further build out the international corporate and finance practice”.
Curtis head of corporate and London managing partner, Carl Ruggiero commented “Christopher comes to us with a deep background in financial services across geographies and jurisdictions. He will be an asset to our internationally oriented corporate practice and global client base.”
