Terje Gundersen
Chris came to Norway to do a management session talk about leadership and managing change for the management group of Eurojuris Norway. I have also previously attended Chris’ management sessions for Eurojuris International, and I know Chris as a very skilful, experienced and entertaining speaker. He has a unique ability to engage his audience, and he truly understands the challenges facing the legal industry. Chris is a great asset to the Eurojuris network, and it is always a pleasure to attend his sessions.

Chris has a profound understanding of issues affecting the UK legal sector which he has acquired over many years working with law firms. He is a great public speaker too, communicating that knowledge in an authoritative, accessible manner.
