Chris practices primarily in revenue law, with a particular focus on indirect taxes including GST and stamp duty.
Since being called to the Bar in 2001, Chris has developed a substantial advice practice and has appeared on behalf of taxpayers and the Revenue in numerous disputes in Federal and State jurisdictions.
Chris left the Bar for a little over three years to head the Melbourne Tax Controversy Group at PricewaterhouseCoopers and to lead a national focus on indirect tax controversy matters. During that time, Chris acted on behalf of clients in a wide range of taxation disputes, ranging from risk reviews and audits to litigation.
Prior to coming to the Bar, Chris was a solicitor in the Tax Group at Arthur Robinson & Hedderwicks (now Allens Arthur Robinson).
