Charles embodied the finest traditions of the profession. He was known not only for his considerable ability as an advocate, but also for his leadership, generosity, kindness and unwavering commitment to the Bar. His presence in Chambers and in court was unmistakable, and he brought both professionalism and character to everything he did.
