Vaughan is very client and service focused.

He likes to get alongside his clients and work with them to achieve the outcomes they want.

He enjoys collaborating closely with clients, to proactively identify and focus on pragmatic solutions for their benefit.

Vaughan enjoys developing strong relationships and helping clients throughout all aspects of their lives – professional and personal – to be able to provide the best legal service he can.

Vaughan relocated to Christchurch for the amazing lifestyle it and the South Island offer. He loves the outdoors and getting into the wilderness with his family. Favourite pass times are active – paddling, biking, tramping and the like.  For Vaughan, a good beer at the end of a day of adventure with family and friends is hard to beat.
