Ngā mihi o te tau hou!

The new year has brought with it a new rōia to the Ngāi Tahu Māori Law Centre. A warm welcome to Paul Ellicott. Paul previously worked for 6 years as a General Practice Solicitor and is excited to move into the realm of Māori land law. We are very happy to have him on the team.

We would also like to welcome our new board member, Mihiata Pirini (Ngāti Tūwharetoa, Whakatōhea). Mihiata is a lecturer at the University of Otago. She has previously worked at the Law Commission and on Crown Law’s Treaty of Waitangi Team. Paul and Mihiata each bring with them a valuable kete of knowledge and experience that are already benefiting the Ngāi Tahu Māori Law Centre and our community.

Another matter to note is that the Ngāi Tahu Māori Law Centre is changing locations. This means we will be closed as we shift from 22 March to 6 April. Stay tuned, more details will follow!
