Lucy has recently joined Sharpe Pritchard after beginning her career at Russell McVeagh, one of New Zealand’s leading commercial firms. There she also gained valuable in‑house experience during a secondment to a water services entity. Lucy now applies that experience to support clients navigating complex infrastructure, corporate and public‑sector matters.
Lucy is an associate in Sharpe Pritchard’s Infrastructure and Corporate team. She has advised a wide range of public and private clients across sectors including banking, supermarkets, utilities and agribusiness. She has been heavily involved in New Zealand’s water reform programme, including in the establishment of several council‑controlled water entities.
Lucy works closely with clients to understand their objectives and deliver advice that is both commercially grounded and easy to apply. Her proactive approach and personable manner ensure clients feel supported throughout every stage of a matter.
“Lucy is willing to turn her hand to everything, focussed on finding the right answer, enthusiastic, and so easy to work with.”
