Christopher (Chris) Richard Dirckze is a seasoned banking and finance professional with over 25 years of experience across the Australasian, UK, and European markets. He currently serves as a Partner at Gadens, a major Australian law firm, based in Brisbane, Queensland, a role he has held since July 2021. At Gadens, Dirckze specializes in Corporate Finance, Real Estate Finance, and Infrastructure (logistics and renewables), advising clients on complex domestic and cross-border transactions. His deep expertise in banking and finance has made him a recognized figure in Australia's capital markets community, and he has been featured as an expert contributor on legal and financial topics through platforms such as Lexology.
Dirckze's involvement with U.S. capital markets came through his appointment to the board of directors of Hall Chadwick Acquisition Corp. (HCAC), a special purpose acquisition company sponsored by Hall Chadwick Capital LLC. He was appointed to the board on November 20, 2025, in connection with HCAC's initial public offering, alongside Gregory Woszczalski and Craig Ransley. Dirckze served as an independent director and sat on both the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. His board tenure was relatively brief; he resigned from the board and both committees effective May 6, 2026. During his time on the board, he was identified in SEC filings as having filed a late Form 3 following the effectiveness of HCAC's registration statement, a disclosure that also applied to several other directors and officers of the company.
Beyond his corporate roles, Dirckze has been an active participant in industry forums bridging Australian and U.S. capital markets. He was a featured speaker at Hall Chadwick's annual Sydney Forum, titled "Pathways to US Market," which focused on U.S. capital markets access for Australian companies. His participation alongside other prominent professionals underscored his standing in the cross-border finance community. Hall Chadwick, the accounting and advisory group associated with the SPAC sponsor, is described as one of the largest and most experienced accounting groups in Australia, and the forum reflected its strategic push into U.S. listings.
Dirckze's professional footprint extends across legal practice, corporate governance, and financial services. His SEC filings under CIK 0002099938 span from 2011 to 2026, indicating a longer-standing regulatory presence in U.S. markets beyond his HCAC directorship. While detailed information about his earlier career history and educational background is not available in the gathered sources, his quarter-century of experience across multiple international markets and his current partnership at one of Australia's leading law firms position him as a well-established figure in the banking, finance, and corporate governance landscape. He is based in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002099938 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 10 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 4 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
