LAW
For the last nine years I have been practising in the areas of property, commercial and private client law. Right now, I am enjoying delving into complex sales and purchases – whether it be land, businesses or residential. I work really hard to ensure that the more complicated aspects of law are presented in a way which is easy for clients to understand. My clients tell me I am down to earth and easy to deal with – and that says to me that I am doing a good job for them.

EXPERIENCE
I have worked in Canterbury my whole legal career which has given me a real insight into the issues that arose from the earthquakes. Working in two mid-size law firms gave me a broad practice touching on everything from employment agreements to purchasing a national franchise. Focusing on property and commercial law was an easy decision for me given its challenges and ultimate rewards for the happy client.
I am married with 2 young children who take up the majority of my spare time! When I do have time, I love to read a good book or watch a good movie.
