As Director of Jury Law Limited, I lead a practice dedicated to helping clients complete property and business transactions with confidence and clarity. My focus is on achieving smooth settlements, managing risk, and providing advice that is both practical and commercially realistic.
I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Software and Applications, a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration, a Bachelor of Commerce, and a Bachelor of Laws.
I specialise in residential, lifestyle and rural property, subdivisions, easements and covenants, business sales and purchases (including service stations, franchises, retail and hospitality), and trusts and structuring for asset protection and succession planning.
Before qualifying as a lawyer, I spent more than a decade managing businesses in New Zealand, China, India and Fiji. That background enables me to approach legal issues with a strong commercial perspective, ensuring my clients’ broader business and personal objectives are always at the forefront.
Outside work, I enjoy reading and strength training.
