It is with deep and profound sadness that Trinity announces the passing of our friend and warmly regarded member of Chambers, Charles Holland following a short illness.
“Charles was an exceptionally talented advocate, but more than that he was a mentor and a friend to so many in Chambers.
One of the few genuine experts on licensing law outside of London, he wore his knowledge lightly and was always willing to lend a hand to other members of Chambers who were making their way at the Bar. No one cared more about the quality of his work than Charles, but he always found time to enjoy the camaraderie of the profession.
He will be remembered as fondly as a convivial lunch companion as he will a leader in his chosen field. He leaves a void that will be impossible to fill.”
Toby Hedworth K.C.
Charles's funeral will be held at 11am on Saturday 8th March at St John the Baptist Church, Grainger St, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 5JG.
Our thoughts and sympathies are with his family and friends at this very difficult period.
