Chelsea Chong provides vital administrative and operational support across the firm.

I provide administrative and operational support across the firm, assisting with trust account processes, conveyancing settlements and workflow coordination.

I enjoy being part of the engine room that keeps matters moving smoothly. Attention to detail and organisation are important in my role, and I aim to ensure clients experience efficient, responsive service.

Originally from Kuala Lumpur, I moved from Auckland to Christchurch in 2022 and now call Canterbury home.

Outside work, I enjoy swimming, running and following major sporting events. Attending the Olympics or the FIFA World Cup is firmly on my bucket list.
