Paul McKendrick

Joint Managing Partner | Litigation

BCom, LLB (Hons)

As a legal advisor, I specialise in resolving a wide array of disputes and litigations, ensuring my clients’ interests are protected while they focus on their business. 

My expertise covers negligence, insolvency, corporate disagreements, property issues, estate matters, and debt recovery. Whether advocating for plaintiffs or defendants, my goal is to negotiate favourable outcomes, minimising risks and costs, and proceeding to court only when necessary.

My experience includes: 
- Banking, insurance, and finance company claims. 
- Residential property purchasers’ class actions.
- Leaky building claims for both owners and contractors. 
- Sale and purchase of substantial businesses’ significant warranties claims. 
- Residential and commercial property disputes. 
- Complex trust and estate disputes. 
- Professional negligence claims. 
- Real estate related disputes. 
- Charitable trust investigations and proceedings. 
- Defamation cases.
- Valuation arbitrations involving town planners, geotechnical engineers, valuers, and archaeologists. 
- Unit Title Act disputes. 
- Joint venture and partnership disputes. 

I always work closely with clients to achieve the best possible outcomes.
