My role at LexisNexis is to ensure that everything we do can be tailored to meet the varied needs of New Zealand’s many small and sole practice firms.

I worked for a sole practitioner for a number of years, starting as a practice administrator and eventually joining as a solicitor once I’d finished my studies at the University of Canterbury. I joined LexisNexis 2017 while living in London, where I worked mostly with large and international firms, government clients and the Inns of Court. When an opportunity to lead our Small and Sole Practice segment strategy came up in 2019, I transferred to the Auckland of􀀀ce to get back to working with the type of firm I started my career in.

Outside of work I try to spend as much time outdoors as I can. I’ve been involved with Guides and Scouts for a long time and I’m currently a Cub Leader in Epsom.

I help our new and existing clients with research services, practice management, software tools, hard copy and online publications. The tools folks need to meet and defeat business challenges.

I chose to work in a small firm because I could build real and lasting relationships with my clients and practice in diverse areas of law every day. Those things are much harder to do in a large corporate firm.
