He lives and breathes our firm’s values. Under his leadership, Pip will enable our people to think and act in ways that challenge the perceptions of a traditional law firm, underpinning the relationships we have with our clients and with each other.
Prior to his role as Chief Executive Partner, Pip was a leading expert in our Auckland Corporate team with expertise in mergers and acquisitions, property syndications and other corporate property transactions, for international and domestic clients. He was also the relationship partner for several of the firm’s priority clients for a number of years.
