Since joining Glaister Keegan in 1972, I have practiced in all areas of property law, commercial law, trusts and estate planning. For over 30 years, I was the managing partner of the firm. I also have extensive skills in negotiation. 

I'm recognised and trusted as a pragmatic advisor for families and businesses, skilled in navigating complex family and business matters. I have experience in assisting overseas parties invest in New Zealand. 

I assist clients to invest funds in mortgages through our firm’s nominee company and in syndicated property investments, which deliver high levels of regular income. I am a director of a number of substantial companies and a trustee of both personal and charitable trusts. 

I have advised: 
- On the acquisition of New Zealand forests, sawmills, and a pulp mill. 
- On the sale of the Albany Regional Centre. 
- on the sale of a 45% interest in a major family-owned company to private equity. 
- On the purchase of a listed public company in New Zealand and the subsequent reorganisation of its businesses.
- A minority shareholder in a large company to develop and implement a strategy to acquire all the shares in the business.
