View moreSam joined Chambers as a tenant in September 2022. He regularly appears in both the High Court and the County Court on his own account, and also enjoys working as part of a team.
Before joining Wilberforce, Sam practised in New Zealand as a barrister, and as a solicitor in one of New Zealand’s leading litigation firms. He had a broad practice and frequently acted on large cases involving difficult contractual and equitable issues. In one such case Sam acted for PwC as liquidator of Ross Asset Management, New Zealand’s largest Ponzi scheme – a matter which raised novel questions about the intersection between equitable and insolvency principles.
Sam has lectured in contract law and tutored the property law (and equity) module at the University of Otago, and obtained a first-class LLM from Cambridge University. He is currently co-authoring chapters in Thomas on Powers with Robert Ham KC.
Sam’s practice spans all of Chambers’ key areas, including trusts, commercial disputes, property, and insolvency.
Trusts, probate and estates: contentious
Trusts, probate and estates work makes up a significant part of Sam’s practice. Sam is currently instructed as part of teams from Wilberforce acting on two large offshore cases, and also frequently appears unled in domestic disputes in this area.
