Christopher O’Connor
Director
Christopher O’Connor was admitted to the Supreme Court of Queensland in 2007. Christopher took control of the firm in 2016 from his father, who was the Director of the firm for 35 years.
Christopher advises his clients in relation to a broad range of estate matters including:
- Estate planning (including wills and testamentary trusts)
- Estate administration (including advising executors, administrators and beneficiaries)
- Contentious and non-contentious estate litigation (including family provision applications, solemn form proceedings, interpretation or rectification of wills)
- Guardianship and administration matters (including enduring powers of attorney, proceedings at the QCAT and advice to attorneys, guardians and administrators in relation to the exercise of their powers)
- Superannuation disputes.
Christopher understands the importance of community. He was recently appointed chairperson for a local community group where he successfully lobbied both state and local governments to transfer a $15 million parcel of state government-owned land, planned for development by a local government to be used by the community for parkland. It took Christopher over 3 years to complete, with many meetings and facilitating negotiations with both sides of government to successfully have the parcel of land transferred for the community’s benefit.
When Christopher is not helping his clients plan their futures, he and his wife of 10 years, Fiona, are running after their three young children.
