About Me
Experienced and Understanding
I qualified as a lawyer in 2004 and I have specialised in family law throughout my career. My work experience is varied, having practiced in both New Zealand and the United Kingdom. I have worked as an in-house lawyer, a lawyer in small and large firms, and I have managed a family law team. I became a barrister in 2016.
I am a member of the Family Law Section and the Arbitrators and Mediators Institute of New Zealand. I am regularly appointed to represent children in court proceedings.
Although I have significant court experience, I also consider alternative ways of resolving disputes. This is because it often results in a more timely, cost-effective and better result for clients.
I recognise that going through family law disputes is stressful and therefore place a high value on dealing with clients in a empathetic and straightforward manner.
individual situation and that will work with you to deliver the outcome that is best for you and your family.
