I am an Associate at Dentons Kensington Swan in the Public Law and Litigation Team. I practice across a range of disputes from regulatory, public law and general litigation.

 

Dentons is an international law firm. I am in the Wellington Litigation team, operating in both private and public disputes and regulatory matters.

With over 8 years PQE, I’ve had the privilege of working in both public and private sectors including a role as a lawyer for Oranga Tamariki’s regional litigation team, 3 years in private practice in disputes resolution (2021-2025) and a graduate position as clerk to the Principal Family Court Judge (2018-2020).

My background through my LLM and judge’s clerkship enhances my ability to provide legal advisory opinion, helping clients understand their rights and options with clarity. During my Masters degree, I completed an internship with the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia’s Prosecution Trials team for 5 months in The Hague.
