ABOUT ME | KO WAI AU

Ngāpuhi | Ngāti Pākehā

BCom | LLB

I obtain consents for people and organisations to establish new businesses, carryout new activities, and to have their say on developments or activities that may affect them. I assist people to understand the implications that resource management plans and policies may have on their interests and I advocate for them and represent their interests throughout any hearing processes.

My focus is on delivering sustainable outcomes in a cost effective timely manner.

I have a broad range of experience in a variety of different roles including as a director of a boutique law firm, in-house counsel for a land development company, a development manager for an iwi consultancy firm, and a research and policy officer for a local government organisation. This diversified experience has enabled me to provide practical, bespoke, timely and cost effective advice and legal services to clients.
