I am an experienced construction and property partner at Buddle Findlay.

 

I am lucky enough to lead the Wellington property and construction team.  I specialise in complex property and construction transactions and have been involved in the development and negotiation of major infrastructure contracts across all stages of the project lifecycle, from procurement strategy, ECI, tendering, contract drafting and negotiation (in particular NZS 3910, 3915 and 3916).  I also provide specialist advice relating to the acquisition of various property rights for infrastructure projects, seismic issues, Māori land issues (and Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993) and have extensive experience working with iwi and settlement legislation.  I provide specialist advice on Public Works Act (PWA) transactions and was the Chair of the Expert Advisory Panel appointed by Toitū Te Whenua – Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) to advise on the proposed reform of the PWA.

I am a trustee for the Buddle Findlay Child Health Foundation, St Mark’s Church School and Ngaakau Tapatahi (Māori Mental Health Trust).
