Jacqueline joined Stevens Orchard in May 2022 and has a wealth of experience in family and employment law and in general dispute resolution.
She began as a solicitor in the UK working initially for a large litigation practice in Wales before moving to be the senior solicitor at a law centre in the North of England where she specialised in landlord/tenant and immigration law. On admission to the NZ bar in 2009, Jacqueline began her practice in family and employment law which, apart from one or two breaks to have children and to take extended trips to the UK along the way, she has continued to the present day.
Originally from the UK, she has lived in New Zealand with her family for the last 17 years and considers herself lucky to be able to call two wonderful countries home!
It’s our common ground of genuinely wanting to do good that drives us. It makes us approachable, supportive – but highly effective.
