Gerard was admitted as a barrister and solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand in 2005, as a solicitor of the High Court of Hong Kong in 2011, and as a legal practitioner of the Supreme Court of New South Wales in 2015.
Gerard started his legal career with an Auckland based firm as a general practice solicitor before moving overseas where he worked for leading international law firms in both London and Hong Kong. Since his return to New Zealand Gerard has worked in a mid-sized Auckland law firm where he has gained valuable experience in the areas of corporate, commercial and property law.
As Gerard lives locally and has a young family he decided it was time to move to a local suburban practice. Gerard is very friendly, personable, and very client focused. When not at work Gerard enjoys spending time with family and friends.
