About
Wakatipu Chambers brings together five independent barristers under one Queenstown roof. Each member practises on their own account while sharing the premises, resources and collegiality of a modern set.
Our members appear across criminal, family and civil matters in the District and High Courts — combining the depth of senior counsel, led by King's Counsel, with a genuine local presence in the Queenstown-Lakes district.
As a barristers' chambers, each member is instructed independently, so clients can be matched to the barrister whose experience best fits their matter — with the shared strength of the set behind them.

What we do
Defence and representation across the District and High Courts — from first appearance and bail through to trial and sentencing. Our barristers act in everything from traffic and summary charges to serious jury trials, with clear, plain-English advice at every stage.
Relationship property, care of children, and protection matters handled with care and discretion. We appear in separations, parenting arrangements and family violence proceedings, guiding you through difficult moments with steady, practical advocacy.
Disputes, litigation and civil advocacy across a broad range of matters. From contractual and commercial disputes to debt recovery and civil claims, our barristers offer sharp, considered representation — whether in negotiation or in the courtroom.
