Christopher Huang

Chris’ outlook on life mirrors his approach to practice – simple and straightforward. While he acknowledges that life can be complicated, he believes that the legal practice doesn't have to be. With this mantra, he founded CHP Law LLC in 2019, focusing on utilizing law as a means to an end, rather than the end itself.

Chris holds degrees in finance and law from the University of Queensland and has gained practical experience in accounting and business roles. This background makes Chris a commercially astute lawyer, offering clients a multi-faceted perspective, both legally and commercially.

He specialises in corporate M&A transactions and heads the Mergers & Acquisition Practice Area, advising clients on shareholder disputes, cross-border joint-ventures and tax issues.

In an alternate reality, Chris might have pursued a career in professional poker or the e-sports arena, areas that still captivate his interest. As a dedicated marathon finisher, Chris's perseverance and willingness to exceed expectations are evident in his steadfast commitment to the firm and its clients.

Chris believes that lawyers diagnose legal problems to then administer the right kind of treatment to the issues on hand.
