Practice areas

Callum joined Littleton Chambers as a tenant in October 2025 following the successful completion of his pupillage. He is developing a broad commercial and employment practice and has a particular interest in cases with a sporting connection. He acts in matters across Littleton’s core practice areas including commercial and company litigation, High Court and statutory employment litigation, and sports arbitrations. He brings a strategic and considered approach to each case, informed by significant prior litigation experience.

Before transferring to the Bar, Callum gained 4 years’ post-qualification experience practising as a solicitor in the Complex Commercial Litigation department of Latham & Watkins, where he obtained Higher Rights of Audience. He also served as a Judicial Assistant at the Court of Appeal, assisting the Chancellor of the High Court, Sir Julian Flaux, on complex and high-profile commercial appeals. He read Philosophy at the University of Cambridge and subsequently achieved Distinctions in both the GDL and LPC.
