Prior to commencing practice on her own account some 20 years ago, Heather worked for nearly two decades with a highly-respected multi-national law firm specialising in every aspect of property: Sale and Purchase, Financing, Leasing, Property Development, Subdivisions, Asset Protection, Estate Planning, Wills, Enduring Powers of Attorney, Estate Administration and Contracting Out Agreements.

Heather prides herself on being accessible to clients and for striving to make every transaction as seamless as possible. Alex and Heather work together closely to complete every transaction.

Alex has been an integral and valued team member of Quinn Law for 17 years.

Alex’s legal experience spans over 22 years, 19 of those as a qualified Legal Executive. Now as a Fellow, Alex has the added advantage of being able to see clients to take Statutory Declarations and witness Enduring Powers of Attorney.

Alex and Heather previously worked together at the same multinational law firm and have a close personal relationship as well a professional one. Together they are a tight knit formidable team.

As a Licensed Conveyancing Practitioner, Alex looks after the majority of Quinn Law’s Conveyancing matters, Wills and Enduring Powers of Attorney, and Heather and Alex work together on estate planning and estate administration files, the trust account and the operation of the practice.

Alex is usually your first port of call for your enquiry. Alex has a “can do” attitude and a wide legal knowledge so don’t be afraid to ask her anything. She will listen to your requirements and then either assist you herself, or put you in touch with another member of the Quinn Law team.

Gemma is a Senior Registered Legal Executive and a Fellow member of the New Zealand Institute of Legal Executives.  Gemma comes from the same multi-national firm that both Heather and Alex also came from so we have all known each other for some years.  

Gemma brings with her 17 years of experience in property, commercial, estates administration, wills and trusts. Gemma is also part way through her law degree and hopes to complete this in the next two years.  

Gemma is personable and efficient and is a very welcome addition to the Quinn Law team.

Quinn Law has had a wonderful two years of working with Elizabeth and getting to know her clients.

The time has now come for Elizabeth to fully “hand over the reins” to the Quinn Law team now that we have another staff member Gemma Patterson to assist us.

Elizabeth will be retiring on 31 March 2025 so please contact us on 09 521 0639 and either Heather, Alex or Gemma will be happy to assist you.
