Paul Connolly people

Partner

I work on building client engagement to work through legal matters with confidence and trust.  I have wide experience both in New Zealand and for 20 years in Australia covering commercial law, trusts, elder law, businesses, property, workers compensation and personal injury.

I enjoy joining clients on their personal journey, earning their trust and respect and being an integral part of their personal or corporate development. This makes me a go-to component for clients to discuss and develop their commercial and legal affairs.
