Max grew up in the Tasman Bay area and now leads our Motueka office, providing clear, practical advice to individuals, families, and businesses across the region.
He works closely with clients to build straightforward legal frameworks that help them move forward confidently, with a shared understanding of how any future disagreements will be resolved while communication is strong and goals are aligned.
In collaboration with our specialist teams in Nelson, Max advises on a broad range of personal and commercial matters, including prenuptial agreements (contracting out agreements), property co-ownership agreements, family succession and estate planning, business sales and purchases, and commercial leasing. He takes the time to understand each client’s unique needs and ambitions, ensuring every solution is transparent, fair, and tailored to support long-term success.
When disputes arise or relationships end, Max helps clients navigate practical, empowering solutions. He focuses on achieving the best possible outcomes while keeping the bigger picture in mind — protecting relationships, preserving value, and supporting future goals.
Clients appreciate Max’s calm, considered approach and his ability to translate complex legal issues into clear, workable next steps.
