I have a large and diverse client base with property interests (both residential and commercial) in New Zealand. Property is my specialty (and passion), although by necessity I also have significant experience and expertise in Trust Law and succession planning.

My clients tell me I am approachable, practical and (importantly) easy to understand. I’m definitely NOT an academic lawyer. My clients receive top quality advice and service, at a reasonable cost. My standard practice involves:

• letting you know how long something will take;
• telling you up front how much your work is going to cost (if at all possible) and whether it’s worth going ahead with, or (in a property context) what needs to be done by when to ensure deadlines are met;
• ringing or emailing you to clarify issues and keeping you updated as to progress at all times.

My working style is friendly, relaxed and transparent. I give people answers quickly, I do what I say I'm going to do, and I charge my clients what I tell them I'm going to charge them.

One of my key strengths is my ability to build strong working relationships. My (still growing) client base has been built on honesty, integrity and trust over the last 20+ years. I enjoy the diversity of my work, and the level of contact I have with my clients. It's satisfying to know I've played a part in helping them achieve their goals.
