Spear’s Review

Schillings executive chairman Rod Christie-Miller spearheaded the transformation of Schillings from a media law firm into 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 tells Spear’s. Christie-Miller has brought intelligence experts, investigators, risk consultants and cyber specialists under one roof to protect the reputation and privacy of executives, HNW figures and corporations.

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.
