Ko Mauao te Maunga, Ko Tauranga te Moana, Ko Mataatua rāua ko Tākitimu ōku waka, Ko Ngāi Te Rangi rāua ko Ngāti Ranginui ōku iwi.

I have over 15 years' experience practicing law.  I began practice in a major Auckland law firm specialising in Resource Management.  Upon returning to Tauranga I began to expand my practice area to become a generalist, primarily advising Maori entities and advising on Maori land including general property rights such as leases and licences etc. Commercial law with the establishment of corporate entities, and when things become difficult, I am comfortable advocating through Civil Litigation.

I have represented clients in the Waitangi Tribunal, Māori Land Court, Environment Court, and High Court.
