Business and financial markets law is complex. The consequences of a breach can be serious for your career, your company and your livelihood.
The last ten years have seen a big shake up in financial markets regulation in New Zealand. The law is still evolving and at times it’s hard to know where you stand.
If you’re facing regulatory action, or dealing with insolvency or liquidation, an insurance dispute, liquidated damages or any other contractual claim, you need specialist advice you can trust.

Areas of Practice
COMMERCIAL Litigation
I am an experienced litigator specialising in resolving business, financial markets (securities), contractual, property, fair trading, insurance and negligence disputes.
Insurance Disputes
The interpretation of insurance policies and schedules to those policies can be complex . Not only do you need to know whether an event or liability is covered by your insurer but you also need to understand what value your insurer is liable to pay for the damage or liability is it covering.
Financial Markets Law
I am in a unique position to provide you compliance and defence advice, as I have insight into the operations of the regulator as a former founding senior solicitor appointed in 2011 to the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) litigation team.
Privacy
I act on behalf of agencies and individuals in relation to privacy incidents and breaches. I advise on the adequacy of compliance programs in relation to the obligations contained in the Privacy Act 2020 and on responses in relation to privacy incidents by agencies.
Insolvency
I advise insolvency practitioners, secured creditors, unsecured creditors and debtors on contentious and non-contentious matters relating to receiverships, liquidations, administrations and compromises.
