Areas of work
Clarity
Employment problems generally come with uncertainty.
My role is to get a good understanding of the situation and clearly explain your options.
Every file is different but I always strive for clarity where there is stress, confusion or doubt.
Experience
I have practised exclusively in employment law for the past ten years. I have advised and represented employees, unions, and employers across Aotearoa. I’ve worked on a wide range of problems. My experience as an employment lawyer is supplemented with a background in general civil and criminal litigation.
Employees
