Spear’s Review 

Charles Enderby Smith is a partner at Carter-Ruck, where he specialises in media disputes and sanctions – matters that have a material effect on his clients’ reputations. 

He often advises high-profile UHNW individuals on issues that have an international and multi-jurisdictional influence. For example, in 2022 he successfully represented the former King of Spain, Juan Carlos I, when a multi-million-pound harassment claim was brought against him in the High Court of England and Wales. 

Enderby Smith tells Spear’s that as much as he enjoys the technical and intellectual nature of his work, it is the human element that he finds the most rewarding: ‘When clients come to me, they are often in trouble with an issue they care about deeply,’ he says. ‘They are relying on you to help them fix it, and there is nothing more satisfying than when you are able to do just that.’
