She is an experienced advocate and has represented clients in numerous mediations and litigation matters both in New Zealand and the UK. Jess is also experienced in assisting clients in contentious matters arising under the PPPR Act, including applications for property manager / welfare guardian, and disputes relating to enduring powers of attorney.
