Our Team

Lindsay is Special Counsel working exclusively in family law for CBC Lawyers.

Admitted to practice as a solicitor in April 2009, Lindsay has over 15 years of legal experience.

Lindsay studied at the University of Queensland and has fond memories of the Jacaranda trees in bloom, which meant it was end of year exam time, and of the curlew habitat on campus (still recalling those haunting cries leaving campus late at night).

Lindsay has worked in most courts and tribunals in Queensland’s state jurisdiction, and in the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. He has represented clients across Australia, including Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, and Western Australia, from local state courts to big city courts. Lindsay has acted as an instructing solicitor and as a solicitor advocate in multiple jurisdictions, including criminal law mentions and trials, family law mentions, and interim and final hearings, including as a solicitor advocate in a four day parenting final hearing.

Lindsay always attempts to settle matters out-of-court or before final hearing in court proceedings, whether by way of negotiations, mediations, or round table conferences. He is however a focused and staunch litigator and has no hesitation in using litigation to achieve the best result for his clients. He has comprehensive applied knowledge of the A-Z of family law including complex parenting and property maters, divorce applications, child support disputes, and child protection matters.

Lindsay enjoys drafting Applications for Consent Orders and Consent Orders, as well as Binding Financial Agreements and Binding Child Support Agreements, which he views as spouses and parents taking control of their own futures as opposed to being exposed to the financial and emotional stressors of court intervention.

Lindsay grew up in Brisbane, however he has lived much of his adult life in the Lockyer Valley and now on the Gold Coast. He is the father of three (twin 18-year-old boy and girl and a 25 year old daughter), grandfather of three, the last of nine children and uncle to many. As such he is a family-oriented person and solicitor who places significant importance on the family unit. His overall goal as a family lawyer is to assist his clients through the difficulties of separation and divorce in a manner that is just and equitable to the parties and in the best interests of their children.

Outside of work, in his younger years Lindsay was a Taekwondo instructor and gold and silver medallist at state and club levels. He brings that fighting spirit and sense of discipline and loyalty to his role as a legal representative in protecting his clients’ interests. These days Lindsay has hung up his taekwondo uniform and traded it in for a suit and tie (although he still wears a black belt). Law to Lindsay is not a job, but rather it is a passion and lifestyle, and he looks forward to waking up each day and guiding his clients with proper planning and strategies to achieve positive outcomes.
