What I like about my work

I like the interaction that I get from working with my clients. Whilst the law itself may be relatively routine, applying it to each of my clients’ circumstances provides variety.

What I've done in the past

I have been with Anderson Lloyd since 1964. In the early years I was a general practitioner, before specialising in commercial work in the 1970s. In 1982 I moved to Queenstown to manage that office, where I mainly focused on commercial property and private client work. I returned to the Dunedin Office in 1995 and have continued advising individuals in trusts, wills, asset protection, estate and succession planning, and rural work.

My approach to working with my clients

My approach to working with my clients is based on what they want. Some prefer a consultative approach and others like to be told what to do. I tailor my approach to the particular client.

What I enjoy at work

I like the fact that, having pursued this career for a number of years, I am now in a position to fully implement my wisdom and experience. I have a common sense approach to solving problems. I think that the length of time that I have been with the firm adds value to the practice.

What I enjoy outside of work

I am interested in travel, and have visited many places overseas. I also enjoy reading and sport.
