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.
- Drafting, negotiation and acting for landlords and tenants in commercial leasing matters.
- Acting for clients in a variety of complicated disputes and commercial negotiations.
- Drafting and offering estate and tax planning advice for a diverse range of clients.
