Kirsty Bates

Solicitor

Kirsty's global upbringing and unexpected path to law bring a unique perspective to our Tauranga-based team.

Kirsty grew up both in New Zealand, in the Waikato and Auckland regions and overseas, spending 6 years up in Cairo, Egypt and Limassol, Cyprus. Having had such a diverse upbringing, she now loves living in Tauranga for the proximity to the sea and the (mostly) temperate weather.

Kirsty never dreamed she would be a lawyer when she left school, however, an assistant role in a law practice led her to apply for law school as an adult, a decision she says is the best she ever made.

Kirsty enjoys the diversity working in law brings and says she learns something new every day.

In her spare time, Kirsty enjoys relaxing with her family.
