Chris Derrig
If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.
Chris has over 31 years experience working in the legal sector. He started as a junior legal cashier and advanced into accounts / management. Since 2004 Chris has held the role of Finance Manager within legal 500 firms, also holding the role of COFA since 2007. Alongside this, Chris became a Practice Manager given his experience and exceptional ability to work with teams and logistics.
Aside from working at Holborn Adams, one of Chris’ career highlights was when he was headhunted to setup and develop the accounts department for a new law firm. Since then he has completed this role on many occasions.
Given Chris’ significant experience he was asked as an expert to assist a law firm that had suffered from compliance breaches. Chris liaised with the SRA to bring that firm ‘up to speed’ and was given a four week time scale to complete that deadline.
Chris’ handling of this sensitive matter was recognised by the SRA whom complimented him on his expertise, work ethic and approach. He went on to rectify the whole firm, working alongside the SRA at all times.As Holborn Adams practice manager, Chris is perfectly placed to manage a firm that continues to rapidly grow with its celebrity / UHNW client profile.
Having spent all his working career in the legal field, we are very fortunate to have such a high calibre individual on board as he knows how every corner of a law firm works and ensures maximum client care and first class standards.
In his spare time Chris enjoys going to the gym, spending time with family and friends and walking his 2 dogs.

Ara has been consistent and thorough during this process
I would like to take this opportunity to praise and acknowledge Ara’s support, kindness, empathy and knowledge during the time that my husband engaged with your services, just prior to his plea through to sentencing. Ara has been consistent and thorough during this process and has taken time to support me as the secondary victim in this matter. She has listened and taken on board my worries and concerns as well as explaining in lay terminology about the judicial system. She has also understood the impact and trauma (of my husbands case) this has had on myself and my daughter and she has advocated for our voices to be heard when for all intents and purposes we are irrelevant to the judicial system. I am very grateful that Ara was assigned as the paralegal for my husbands case, she has gone above and beyond to support all of us. She really is a huge asset to your workforce.
