Legal Executive

Olivia O’Brien

Olivia is a Registered Legal Executive with more than 16 years' experience assisting clients with property transactions, estate planning and a wide range of private client matters.

 I graduated with the New Zealand Law Society Legal Executive Diploma in 2018 and am an Associate Member of Legal Executives New Zealand.

 

Staying current with changes in the law is important to me, ensuring my clients receive practical, up-to-date advice throughout every stage of their matter.

 

I work across residential conveyancing, first-home purchases, refinancing, subdivisions, occupational right agreements, wills, enduring powers of attorney and trust establishment and administration.

 

Whether you’re buying your first home, planning for the future or managing a property transaction, my goal is to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

 

 

Organisation, communication and attention to detail are at the heart of how I work. I enjoy building lasting relationships with clients, taking the time to explain each step clearly so you always know what to expect and can move forward with confidence.

 

 

Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two young daughters on our lifestyle property, where life is kept entertaining by our much-loved Highland cattle.
