Who is Chris Ambas?
Chris Ambas founded Swiftly Legal to bring a more direct and practical approach to family law. As principal solicitor, he handles matters across parenting, property, surrogacy, and financial agreements, drawing on experience gained in traditional firms to deliver solutions without unnecessary complexity.
His background in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and submission wrestling has shaped his professional philosophy: prepare methodically, adapt when necessary, and pursue outcomes with focused determination. This disciplined approach, combined with interests in logic and legal theory, enables him to distill complex legal situations into clear options for clients.

Chris is definitely the most honest and knowledgeable lawyer I have ever consulted. I can not believe he gave me such precious advice and instructions without charging me anything. He has guided me through what I have to do and I’m certainly going to appoint him as my lawyer in any legal matters. Thanks Chris!
Thelesa Chung
I went on line to find help to do my consent orders. I was going to try to do them myself. I realised after looking into it, it was going to be impossible. Then I found swiftly legal. Chris rang me and explained so I could understand what was involved. Chris and his team communicated with me about everything. If I had a question it was answered immediately.
The whole process went smoothly. I would recommend them and will use them again when needed. Thank you for everything Chris.
