I bring extensive international experience in law and financial services, including sports law, to help clients safeguard their assets from various risks. With a global career spanning New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the Cook Islands, and North America, I've returned home to apply my expertise in asset protection, addressing concerns such as business liabilities and family law challenges.
I want to help my clients protect the assets they’ve worked so hard to accumulate throughout their life. Threats to wealth can come in various different guises from business creditors to relationship breakdowns. One of the most common concerns our clients have is not knowing the future status of their children’s relationships. Our clients want to take steps to be able to protect against anything untoward happening.
Through my interest in sports, I also have experience in sports law working with a number of professional players in rugby league, rugby union, football, the NFL, and professional sailors.
I provide clients with advice on all aspects including: - Trusts – establishment, review, resettlement, variations, and vesting. - Wills – complex drafting and advice. - Powers of attorney – enduring, general, and specific. - Relationship property – advice in relation to the effect on trusts. - Gifting – advice following gift duty removal. - Retirement villages – occupation right agreements advice. - Residential care – advice on eligibility for government subsidies and government loans. - Charitable trusts – establishment and registration of charitable trusts. - Tax – working closely with tax experts where necessary to ensure that structures are tax-efficient. - Foreign trusts. - Sports law.
My goal is to break down the complexities of the law to ensure that our clients understand, in their terms, what it is they are doing. It’s important to me to provide clients with effective structures to protect their wealth for future generations. I work with families to understand their specific dynamics and help them implement their long-term objectives.
With extensive experience as a trustee for families locally and abroad, I'm committed to ensuring your peace of mind, knowing your legacy is secure and well-managed.
