Rob E Edwards LLB (Hons) Barrister

 Rob is a commercial barrister who has approval from the New Zealand Law Society to take instructions directly, without the need for an intervening solicitor, in respect of appropriate matters.

 Rob is comfortable being the legal and strategic guide to senior executives in relation to key transactions, as they navigate through major changes in the legislative landscape and negotiate critical regulatory matters 

 Rob has extensive experience as a commercial lawyer, with a focus on the financial services sector. Rob worked in private practice at a senior level for approximately 17 years, most of which was spent at top tier Australasian firms. During that time Rob acted both for and against many of Australasia’s largest financial service providers, including banks, NBDTs and insurers.  Rob’s appreciation for clients’ needs was honed by his subsequent experience in senior in-house roles (including one as Head of Legal, Risk and Compliance) at two major insurers and a three-year stint leading a supervisory, licensing and investigations team at an NZ regulatory agency 

 "Rob has successfully settled a very substantial and complex claim on my behalf. I can not express my gratitude for his expertise and support during this difficult time. Rob has a vast knowledge across many areas and this ensured that all avenues could be explored to get the best outcome. I found his professionalism and ability to communicate to me in lay terms exceptional. Rob worked in a purposeful and expedient manner which allowed the process to be completed in the shortest possible time. His communication was faultless and I was kept fully apprised of progress at all times. I can not recommend Rob highly enough." Fiona M  November 2023
