About Me
I am a barrister with over 10 years of legal experience working in human rights litigation.
I specialise in Te Tiriti o Waitangi-relate law and help tangata whenua navigate difficult legal challenges with practical advice and effective advocacy. My approach is solutions-focused and I work toward outcomes that consider the wider realities my clients are facing.
I'm known for being a fearless advocate who prepares thoroughly and speaks up when it counts. Above all, I deeply care about the people I represent.
Why I Do This Work
Because everyone deserves to be treated with dignity.
Because the law should be used to protect, not harm.
Because advocacy, when done with care, can change lives.
Practice Areas
