Law Clerk

Matthew Bowen

Matthew Bowen supports the legal team across property, commercial and litigation matters while preparing for admission as a Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand.

Growing up in Christchurch in a family connected to the legal profession, the law always felt like a natural direction for me.

I recently graduated from the University of Canterbury with an LLB and BCom and am preparing for admission as a Barrister and Solicitor. At Canterbury Legal, I support the team across property, commercial and litigation matters through research, drafting and client preparation.

I’m keen to learn as much as possible from the experienced practitioners around me and to build a career grounded in practical, client-focused advice.

Outside the office, I enjoy golf, following sport and learning guitar whenever time allows.
