I was brought up in London and was admitted as a solicitor in 1977. After a spell as a partner in the City firm of Lawrence Graham, I jointly established my own firm, Marshall Hatchick, in Marylebone in 1995, from which I retired in 2023.
I am now working as a consultant with Brian Harris and Co. My work is in the property sector, commercial property in particular. There has always been an international aspect to my practice, with clients and connections in the USA and Europe.
