Chris graduated from Northumbria University in 2005 and qualified as a solicitor in 2008. His practice has been primarily in the area of Housing Law. Chris was a legal aid practitioner with a large North-East law firm for a number of years, before moving to Durham City and then Durham County Councils where he continued to act in-house as a housing lawyer, and also in Planning Law.
Chris joined Northumbria Law School in 2011, initially as a Solicitor Tutor working in the Student Law Office, Northumbria University's multi-award winning free legal advice and representation clinic. Chris is now an Assistant Professor, teaching in the Student Law Office but also teaching a module on Housing Law.
Chris is also Joint Programme Leader for the Solicitor Higher Apprenticeship at Northumbria University.
Chris's research interests focus on the use of problem-based learning pedagogies in legal education, and in particular the responsible use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) as both a tool to develop our approach to teaching, but also as a tool that students are able to engage with in order to improve their understanding of the subject.
