Dr Chadbourne said he had retained the services of barrister Linda McSpedden and solicitorJenny Bull.
"I had a very, very positive meeting with my legal advisers today, we've discusseda whole range of issues," he said.
"I've come away feeling very comfortable with what we've discussed."
Dr Chadbourne said he had recruited his legal team several weeks ago to act on hisbehalf regarding any issues that might arise in the Police Integrity Commission (PIC).
