Kiara thrives on making property transactions less daunting and more doable – whether it’s guiding a first-home buyer through a KiwiSaver withdrawal or adding to a company’s property portfolio.
She grew up in the Bay of Plenty and attended Mount Maunganui College before completing her law degree in Christchurch. Kiara joined CLM in January 2024 and is now part of our Property & Development team where she focusses on conveyancing, finance arrangements and leasing.
Her approach is simple: understand the client’s objectives, cut through complexity, and deliver honest, strategic advice. She loves building strong relationships with people and solving their legal problems. Kiara doesn’t just identify issues; she works to find practical solutions that protect her clients’ long-term interests. Kiara especially enjoys the buzz of telling first-home buyers they have the green light to pick up their new house keys.
Clients value her integrity, clarity, and the fact she always has their back. Her technical skills, clear communication, and down-to-earth personality makes her a trusted ally when you’re trying to navigate the property landscape, whether you’re buying your first home or have lost count of how many sale and purchase agreements you’ve signed.
On weekends she loves to go fishing off the Whakatāne or Te Kaha coast, where the cellphone reception is blissfully unreliable.
