As a civil engineer and contractor, Kevin has been a part of the construction industry in New Zealand for over thirty years. Unlike most lawyers, he is experienced in the construction process from a practical perspective. Kevin has been practising construction law since 2009. The firm became a family project in 2017, when Laura and Kate came onboard as law clerks. They were admitted to the High Court in June 2019.
Laura became a Junior Partner in the firm in August 2022, and Kate became a Junior Partner in the firm in May 2023.
​
We are passionate about educating members of the construction industry on their rights and obligations as principals and contractors. Encouraging compliance throughout the industry with the Construction Contracts Act 2002 is a particular focus within the firm.
​
As a specialist law firm centered on construction, we provide attentive and highly-focused service to our clients.
