Matthew Bowen is a Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand, supporting the Canterbury Legal team across property law, commercial law and litigation matters.
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 was admitted as a Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand. At Canterbury Legal, I work across a range of property, commercial and litigation matters, assisting with legal research, drafting and client preparation.
I enjoy being involved in matters from an early stage and working alongside experienced practitioners to deliver practical, client-focused advice. I’m particularly interested in building strong foundations across property and commercial law while continuing to develop my litigation skills.
My approach is to keep things clear, straightforward and focused on outcomes that matter to clients.
Outside the office, I enjoy golf, following sport and learning guitar whenever time allows.
