Principal

Christopher Emmett is a qualified lawyer with over 10yrs experience in many areas of the law, primarily in litigation, succession and property. Christopher holds an unrestricted practising certificate as a principal solicitor. He completed his academic qualifications through the Legal Profession Admission Board culminating in his admission as a lawyer of the Supreme Court of NSW in 2016. At that time, Christopher's name was also entered in the Register of Practitioners kept by the High Court of Australia. Christopher began his professional career in property consultancy and commercial real estate at one of Australia’s largest commercial real estate services companies. He then began following his passion for the law by commencing what was essentially full time articles of clerkship with a mid tier litigation firm in Sydney CBD for the duration of his legal studies. During those years, he gained a great deal of practical experience and exposure to the day to day operations of legal practice. Following his admission as a solicitor, he worked briefly as a judge’s associate in the Federal Court of Australia to Hon Justice Steven Rares. He then returned to private practice as a Senior Solicitor with a boutique law firm in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. There, Christopher practised principally in litigation and property where he was able to utilise his prior experience in property consultation and his broad knowledge of the law. In 2020, Christopher completed a Practice Management Course at the University of New South Wales to enable him to practise as a principal solicitor. Now Christopher is able to combine his love of the law with his independence, knowledge and experience in Christopher Emmett Legal.
