Chris holds a Bachelor of Laws and is an Accredited Specialist in Personal Injury Law. He is also a graduate member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Chris was the lead insurance partner at McCabes for more than 17 years and, more recently, was a partner at Lee & Lyons. His time spent away from the legal profession in a corporate role allows him to bring a client's perspective to his dealings with legal problems.
Chris is happiest outside the office in the great outdoors in particular in the NSW Southern Alps, whether it is summer or winter. He and his family live on the northern beaches of Sydney and he is on the board of Manly Rugby Union Football Club where he is currently the Vice President.
