Max Mills represents individuals, companies and government departments in a multi-disciplinary practice encompassing Business Crime and Financial Services, Inquests and Public Inquiries, Criminal Regulatory and Professional Discipline.

He is uniquely placed to act in complex cases on the cusp of criminal, regulatory and public law, and is often instructed to provide strategic advice during the early stages of proceedings in both the criminal and civil jurisdictions.

Appointed to the Attorney General’s C Panel in 2023, Max is currently instructed as part of the inquiry team in Module 3 of the Covid-19 Inquiry and as part of the Ministry of Defence’s counsel team in the Independent Inquiry relating to Afghanistan. In 2021, he was part of the counsel team for the Home Office and the Ministry of Justice in the inquests into the deaths arising out of the terrorist attack at Fishmongers’ Hall.

Max has acted in large-scale financial services investigations conducted by the Bank of England – into Standard Chartered in 2021 and into Credit Suisse in 2023 – which each resulted in record fines being imposed. He is regularly instructed to represent individuals and corporate clients in matters where financial regulation and white-collar crime intersect.

Before coming to the Bar, Max qualified as a solicitor at an international commercial law firm, where he acted in cross-border civil fraud trials and regulatory investigations across a number of industries, before he was seconded to deputise for the General Counsel of a FTSE 250 company.

Max is also ranked in the Legal 500 UK Guide as a leading junior in Inquests and Inquiries.
