Julie Ding

Julie approaches cases with clarity, making sense of complex issues, to give clients careful advice and achieve results.

Julie acts as counsel in a wide range of cases, having led and assisted in civil, criminal and family proceedings. In the civil jurisdiction she has particular interest in assisting with the recovery of assets, armed with the practical experience of achieving this across multiple jurisdictions. In the criminal jurisdiction she is adept across a wide range of offending including the most serious charges where she has obtained acquittals on murder and other homicide charges.

Julie began her career primarily defending criminal cases, appearing in the District Court, High Court, and Court of Appeal. Consistent with the ethos that advocates should make their skills a specialty, rather than specialise in the subject matter, this means Julie has appeared as lead counsel and junior counsel in most practice areas.

Before moving to the bar, Julie was a director at a boutique law firm in the Auckland CBD and oversaw the wider litigation team. She facilitated the expansion of the litigation capabilities of the firm. She also expanded the criminal legal aid work to include Manukau in addition to Auckland.

Many of the cases Julie has assisted with are those involving complex fraud. These have involved detailed forensic accounting evidence, often requiring the peeling back of structures and transactions. This has involved several international cross-border issues. She has also led and assisted with criminal proceeds proceedings.

Julies speaks fluent Mandarin, can comprehend Cantonese (and to a limited extent some Korean), and is certified as a PAL4 criminal legal aid provider.
