Experience

Formerly a partner of Brookfields Lawyers based at Manukau, Janice has over 25 years of experience in assisting clients with family and relationship law issues.  She is an expert in family law and is well known to the South Auckland and South East Auckland regions for her community work in this area of the law.

Janice was admitted to the Bar in 1988 and since then has practiced principally in family law for her former firm.  She has specialised in child law and relationship property resolving those intricate and delicate issues either by way of agreement or litigation.

A burgeoning area in family law is that of pre-nuptial agreements or contracting out agreements for those couples entering into subsequent relationships.  She is very well equipped in this area of family law to advise you on your rights. 

Janice is also a member of the Lawyer for Child Panel which involves representing children in Court proceedings.

She has presented papers and seminars on aspects of the Domestic Violence Act and relationship property law including a Lexis Nexis seminar on relationship property agreements in 2013.
