“With my experience and understanding of Catholic organisations, I, and my team are here to provide you with the best solution for your business.”
Chris Owens
Deputy General Counsel (CSNSW)
Managing Principal (CERL)
I am CER’s Director of Legal and Professional Services, leading a team of experienced employment relations advisors, providing employment and workplace relations advice and services to Catholic employers. I am also a senior lawyer and provide legal advice and representation to CER’s clients.
In the past my team and I provided significant advice to CER's clients following the implementation of public health orders and their subsequent withdrawal, including COVID-19 Vaccination Policy implementation and defending unfair dismissal and general protections claims in the Fair Work Commission.
I have a strong background in employment law and have significant experience in a range of other areas that can impact your organisation; privacy, education, commercial, debt and contract. I take a strategic approach to complex problem resolution and effectively lead and guide my team so that we can provide you with the best solution for your business.
