Kathryn has recently moved to Awhitu with her husband who is nearing retirement. They are intending to build a house and are now currently living in a shed. Talk about downsizing as soon as the kids moved out! The dogs are happy and there is a beach nearby, just like the west coast beaches of Raglan where she used to live.
Kathryn is still in Hamilton 3 to 4 days a week to see clients (working offsite at Awhitu for the other days), so is not missing out on the Hamilton action. Kathryn enjoys reading, walking the dogs, doing a variety of craftwork (not an age thing – but a “multi-tasking option) – but is most looking forward to planting trees and getting the house sorted….
If you want someone with some practical life experience who enjoys a good laugh, then Kathryn is the one for you.

Email: renee@kjlaw.co.nz
Renee is the newest member to join our team working as Tammi’s secretary. Renee fell into law after leaving school and starting as an office junior in an old established firm in Whakatane.
Renee moved to Hamilton in the late 1990’s where she met and married her husband and continued working in law with experience in residential conveyancing, commercial and farm transactions.
Renee has three children who are involved in numerous winter and summer sports that take up all of her spare time.
Adam is our “Guy Friday”. He has been with us for years now, doing admin and assistant work around the office, which includes managing some deeds, scanning files and cleaning. Adam is currently studying at Waikato University doing a double major, design and marketing. He loves the degree, just doesn’t love the long hours…
Adam grew up in Waikato and has lived here for most of his life. However, at the start of 2020, he wanted a change. He headed over to Canada to experience the chill factor… Too bad COVID showed up and he had to come back within the first 4 months of getting there. However, it was still an experience he will never forget.
If you know Adam, you know he loves adventure and travelling, which ironically contrasts with his love of design and gaming. You won’t see Adam reading books instead you’ll hear him listening to podcasts and watching movies on Netflix!
