Experience
Chris' practice focuses on claims arising from property damage and financial loss, primarily relating to the building and construction industry. His interest in this area stems from the complexity and diversity of such claims, which often involve multiple defendants and intricate coverage issues.
Chris advises on claims arising under liability, professional indemnity, and contract works policies, as well as on coverage issues across a broader spectrum of policies, including ISR and other first-party cover.
Based on those practice areas, Chris regularly appears for clients in VCAT, the County Court & Supreme Court of Victoria, the Building Appeals Board, and the Federal Court of Australia.
Known for his pragmatic approach and deep technical understanding, Chris is a trusted advisor to clients navigating high-value and reputationally sensitive claims.
