Rod Christie-Miller

Spear’s Review

Schillings chairman and partner Rod Christie-Miller spearheaded the transformation of Schillings from a media law firm to an all-purpose protective unit for HNWs.

‘[The purpose] of Schillings is to give more services to existing clients, to find adjacent services to give to those clients, and to find further clients, and we’re doing all three,’ he says. Christie-Miller has brought intelligence experts, investigators, risk consultants and cyber specialists under one roof.

The firm also has senior figures from military, banking and government backgrounds to bolster its international offering. ‘We think we’re slightly different, and we have this extra-legal capability all within the legal wrapper,’ he explains.
