An Australian lawyer and dad of two who died in Thailand earlier this week was “deeply loved” and a “remarkable father”, according to a statement from his family.

Christopher Saines, 43, was on holiday with his family in Thailand when he was found dead.

In a statement posted on the GLG Legal website, his family wrote of their “unimaginable sorrow” at his death.

“At just 43, Christopher had already made a profound impact through his professional achievements and his unwavering commitment to the people and causes he cared about most,” the statement read.

“He lived with purpose, passion, and drive.”

Saines is survived by his wife and two young children, to whom he was “dedicated”.

“He will be remembered by us as a warm, loving, and caring person,” the statement read.

“We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support we’ve received during this incredibly painful time from our friends, colleagues, and the broader public.”

The statement closed with a request for privacy.

In his profile on the GLG Legal website, Saines is described as “a leading solicitor in commercial and property law” who worked with some of Queensland’s “most prestigious” firms.

He was a member of the Queensland Law Society, and on the International Bar Association committee.
