Practice Overview

Julius became a tenant of Exchange Chambers in March 2025 following the successful completion of his pupillage under the supervision of Stephen Connolly and Brynmor Adams. Julius is developing a broad commercial chancery practice across chambers’ areas including insolvency, company, commercial, probate, and property law.

Julius has gained a strong reputation among clients during his second six, many of whom have already re-instructed him to appear and advise on a diverse range of matters beyond his level of call. He has been frequently instructed in both High Court and County Court matters and has achieved favourable outcomes. Julius has experience in:

  • Representing clients in a wide range of commercial trials and landlord and tenant disputes.
  • Securing a wide range of possession orders, including but not limited to claims under section 8 and 21 of the Housing Act 1988.
  • Making a range of corporate and personal insolvency applications in the High Court and County Court.
  • Making and resisting a wide range of interlocutory applications, such as strike-out applications and applications to set aside judgment.
  • Obtaining an order to disapply a Claimant’s CPR Part 8 claim and securing permission to pursue a counterclaim for breach of contract and/or negligence under CPR Part 7.
  • Obtaining, in part, costs on an indemnity basis for an executor of an estate in a contentious probate matter in the High Court.
  • Appearing in numerous directions hearings for fast-track and multi-track trials.

Julius also has experience drafting skeleton arguments, opinions, particulars of claim, defences, and orders on a wide range of complex insolvency, company, commercial, probate, and property law matters.

Before coming to the Bar, Julius was a Paralegal at Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer based in London, working on a high-profile litigation in the pre-action disclosure for a client who defended a multi-jurisdictional product group action, which has now settled for £193 million.

Immediately prior to pupillage, Julius worked as a Senior Paralegal for Overdales Solicitors, where he drafted witness statements, pleadings, and successfully represented one of Europe’s largest credit management companies in small claims hearings and interlocutory applications.

Julius is a native German speaker and has experience advising clients (orally and in writing) in German.
