Chris Korbel – Litigation Lawyer

Chris Korbel is a Litigation Lawyer at Potts Lawyers and holds a Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting) from Griffith University, and is admitted to the roll of legal practitioner in the Supreme Court of Queensland.

Chris practices in a wide range of civil litigation matters, and has an avid interest and comprehensive understanding of civil law. He works collaboratively with members of the Potts Lawyers litigation team, chiefly with director, Craig DoRozario. Chris brings to his client’s matters an objective, strategic approach and clear, precise and timely tailored advice when it matters most.

“My interest in the art of negotiation has been constant since University days and was fine-tuned in my previous work in property law. It’s something which carried over into my current dispute resolution practice in which I aim to deliver favourable, quick and economic results for my clients.”

His interest in civil litigation stems from the diversity and complexity of the matters that fall within the scope of civil law. Whilst maintaining his preference for this broad area of practice, Chris has developed a special interest in disciplinary law, employment law, defamation, intellectual property law and compensation law.

Some of his most recent matters include:

• Proceeds of crime;
• Unfair dismissal claims;
• Domain name disputes; and
• Submissions to government departments.

Chris builds strong relationships with his clients,

“I liken the relationship with clients in litigation matters to the trust and focused effort required from all team members on the sporting field to achieve success. It’s the interaction with clients and the challenge of finding the best possible outcome for every client which motivates me.”

When Chris is not in the office, he attends the gym on a regular basis working on the strength aspects of lifting weights including powerlifting and strongman. An avid sports fan, his particular interest is rugby and other contact sports.
