We are delighted to welcome Chris de Klerk as a Consultant to our professional team.
Chris graduated with a BA (Law) LLB degree from the University of Johannesburg. He was admitted as an Attorney in the Supreme Court of South Africa in 1990.
From 1990 Chris practiced law and ran, with partners, two successful law firms in South Africa. He gained extensive experience in commercial law, litigation, dispute resolutions, criminal law, family law, estate planning, public/private partnerships and establishing and advising on various types of legal structures for not for profit organisations.
Having a keen interest in the not for profit and non governmental organisations (NGO) sector, in 1997 Chris headed the legal department of the largest NGO development agency in South Africa.
Chris has represented a broad range of clients. He is pro-active with the ability to appreciate and understand difficult positions in which clients may find themselves, and then to find and implement satisfactory solutions.
In January 2003 Chris and his family immigrated to Australia. Prior to joining Corney & Lind as a consultant, Chris ran his own successful commercial business in Brisbane.
Chris is fluent in Afrikaans.
Chris is currently undertaking further study in order to become admitted as an Australian Legal Practitioner, which he anticipates completing in 2011.
