Stephanie Grieve is an experienced civil litigator, with a focus on insurance and commercial litigation, including insolvency. Previously a partner at another Christchurch firm, Stephanie will further strengthen Duncan Cotterill’s litigation team in Christchurch.

Brian Nathan is a new litigation partner in Nelson. He has a general civil litigation practice with particular emphasis on construction, property and estate litigation. Brian has extensive employment law experience. He joins Duncan Cotterill after nearly 10 years as a partner in a Christchurch firm.
