He has provided advice in commercial and criminal legal cases on matters relating to information technology and banking practice.

Charles has been involved in complex integration projects for most of his career beginning with the design and implementation of what was, at the time, the most technologically advanced dealing room in London, while at Merrill Lynch.

Working with NaMax associates, he has been responsible for the rapid and successful implementations in two insurance companies in the UK and the Far East where legacy systems were browser enabled for use in call centres and on the Internet.
