I have been with Steindle Williams Legal since 2007 and became a director in 2018. During that time I have acted for a wide variety of clients both here and overseas, from individuals and small business owners to large businesses and high net worth individuals.

I practise across a broad range of areas including commercial and company law, sale and purchase of businesses, property, leasing, estate and tax planning, construction, trusts, insolvency, dispute resolution and general structuring. I have particular expertise in commercial and company law and enjoy working pragmatically with my clients to identify and solve their particular legal issues. I have a number of clients, many of which I have acted for since starting with Steindle Williams.

I have written a number of articles and have presented at seminars for the Auckland Property Investors Association.

My recent experience includes:

Acting for clients in the formation of international business structures.
Acting in respect of the sale of a large overseas business ($50 million NZD) and dealing with a variety of cross-jurisdictional issues.
Providing structuring advice to a number of clients from small and large business owners.

Acting for clients in a variety of complicated disputes and commercial negotiations.
