Jack practises in all of Chambers’ core areas of practice including consumer finance, financial services, regulatory crime, and general consumer law.

Jack joined Chambers in October 2024 following the successful completion of his pupillage under the supervision of Anna Medvinskaia, Lee Finch, and Robin Kingham.

Before joining Chambers, Jack obtained a first-class degree in German and Russian from the University of Cambridge and completed the Graduate Diploma in Law with distinction at the City Law School. Jack studied the Bar Vocational Studies as a Lord Mansfield Scholar of Lincoln’s Inn, the Inn’s most prestigious award.

He is a fluent German speaker and has previously worked as a translator.

  • Consumer finance & financial services

    Jack regularly represents banks and financial institutions at interim hearings and trials. He has particular experience of mis-selling claims under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, which often feature issues of compliance with the various sourcebooks of the FCA Handbook.

    Jack also has experience in dealing with authorisation, regulated activities, regulated agreements and exemptions under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. For example, as a pupil, Jack assisted Anna Medviskaia in advising the trustees of two trusts as to whether loans advanced to beneficiaries constituted regulated credit agreements or regulated mortgage contracts and whether the trustees require FCA authorisation.

  • Regulatory crime

    Jack prosecutes and defends a range of regulatory offences. His recent work includes successful prosecutions of individuals and businesses for selling counterfeit and non-compliant products, selling age restricted products, and breaching labelling requirements.

    Jack’s experience in this area, as a pupil, includes observing the high-profile National Trading Standards prosecutions of money laundering offences and fraud offences in R v Grigg & ors (Leeds Crown Court, 2024) and R v Foster & ors (Sheffield Crown Court, 2024).

  • General consumer law

    Jack has experience of general consumer matters. His recent work, as a pupil, includes assisting on a variety of advisory matters such as:

    • A review of the new enforcement regime in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill (for Jonathan Kirk KC and Anna Medvinskaia);
    • Advice on the novel application of unfair contract terms legislation to estate charges (for David Travers KC);
    • Advice on the application of the ATOL Regulations to consumers in the Crown Dependencies (research for Anna Medvinskaia); and
    • Advice on the post-rejection use of goods under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 (research for Iain MacDonald).

    Jack is a contributor to Consumer and Trading Standards: Law and Practice, 13th Edition (‘the Pink Book’) in which he writes on product liability.
