Chris White is a legal practitioner with 10 years' experience since his admission to the Supreme Court of Queensland.
Chris has developed his expertise across boutique, mid-tier, and global law firms, both in Australia and internationally, giving him a broad and practical perspective on a wide range of legal matters.
Through years of experience, Chris has discovered his true passion, finding his niche in transactional matters in Property, Commercial, Business, Wills and Estates, and providing legal services in Japanese. Having owned and operating a number of businesses, Chris delivers practical and commercially minded legal solutions tailored to the individual needs of his clients.
Chris is known by his clients to spend all the time necessary to really listen to their situation and their concerns and what they want to achieve when giving advice, and he often gets appreciation for giving clear and direct advice using ‘plain English’ instead of ‘legalese’.
Chris acts for large-scale property developers, international investors, small and medium-sized business owners, Japanese and Chinese residents in Australia, Mums and Dads venturing into the property market, and Nans and Pops who are moving into a retirement village for the first time.
Chris is half Japanese and Australian and can speak English and Japanese fluently and professionally, and mandarin Chinese at a conversational level. Despite his international affinity, he is as true blue as they come.
Outside of work Chris trains and teaches as second degree black belt in Goju Ryu Karate and continues to pursue his passion singing classical Italian opera
