‘What’s great about Barry Nilsson is that it has a really strong ‘one firm’ culture; providing support and guidance across all offices. Everyone is approachable and willing to assist.’

‘I enjoy working in the insurance sphere due to the wide variety of work. Each and every claim has its own distinct factual circumstances. It is always rewarding when a favourable, cost-effective outcome is achieved for the client as a result of the thorough investigation into the circumstances of the claim. I enjoy working with insurers as they are typically highly sophisticated clients with exceptional working knowledge of legal principles.’

Chris has been recognised as one of South Australia's Recommended Public & Product Liability Lawyers in the 2023 edition of Doyle's Guide. He holds a Bachelor of Environmental Management with a Bachelor of Laws (Honours).
