"I like tackling tough cases. I like test cases. I like clients with challenging facts.  Why not?? Why wouldn't we take on these kinds of cases?  What are we here for?"

"Understand I will not hesitate to challenge precedent when precedent begs (or in my view, needs) to be challenged. You need to be comfortable with that. You need to be exceptionally hard working and brave - I don't tolerate any less and neither will my clients."

​Further Counsel and Litigation Assistance​
I work collaboratively with members of my Chambers, but more often, with senior counsel and King's counsel from other chambers throughout New Zealand. Please see my 'Working with Senior/King's Counsel' page. 

I have worked with barristers from the following chambers:
Kitchener Chambers (my own)
Southern Cross Chambers (Auckland)
Bankside Chambers (Auckland)
Shortland Chambers (Auckland)
Blackstone Chambers (Auckland)
Stout Street Chambers (Wellington)
King's Counsel's individual chambers (Auckland)
LAW STUDENTS
From time to time I contract third or fourth year law students from Universities in New Zealand. At any one time I may have 1 to 3 law students assisting me with legal research and other ancillary work related to litigation.
