I help businesses and private individuals to resolve disputes as well as issues about their rights and obligations over a multitude of areas including in relation to land, leases, property, corporate governance, contracts, and money claims, as well as on constrruction matters and relationships. I also represent clients in Courts and Tribunals and help them to recover monies owing. I provide general employment advice and act as an external Human Resources resource for a number of small business clients and employees. If you are looking for a lawyer who: • will analyse your problem and suggest legal and practical steps to address it, • can communicate difficult concepts clearly and concisely, and • is able to apply legal concepts and the law to your scenario, to assess your risk and find solutionsthen I can help. While litigation is sometimes the most appropriate way to resolve a dispute, in other circumstances negotiation, mediation or dialogue with the other party works just as effectively, if not better. Because I’ve had vast experience dealing with difficult disputes (both in New Zealand and overseas) I can suggest the best way forward and put my clients at ease quickly. I encourage full communication. I’m nearly always available on the phone and I believe it’s important to get back to people quickly. My clients tell me I give good practical, pragmatic and timely advice. My achievements include winning claims for clients in the High Court, including for the recovery of money, and for the owner on a structurally defective home, and additionally for defending clients accused of wrong doing including a company directoraccused of aiding a tax default, being absolved of any penalty for personal by the Court, as well as defending a client in a 5 day jury trial. I cover a variety of industries and clients, ranging from SME's and individuals to developers, construction companies, trade suppliers through to a multi-national corporates. My clients tell me I give good practical, pragmatic and timely advice. I strive to provide a good risk evaluation, decisiveness, empathy, encouragement, resilience and integrity, with respect to all cultural aspects.Specialties: Litigation, mediation, negotiation, dispute resolution, civil litigation, civil mediation, civil negotiation, civil dispute resolution, commercial litigation, commercial mediation, commercial negotiation, commercial dispute resolution, criminal jurisdictions, employment disputes, employment litigation, employment mediation, employment dispute resolution
