Find A Barrister

Dr Elizabeth Jane Macpherson

I am a barrister practising in Administrative/Public, Resource Management, and Treaty/Māori law, based in Christchurch.

I provide expert legal advice on complex environmental and natural resources issues, helping communities, organisations, and government understand their rights and responsibilities, and navigate legal challenges.

I have advised governments, private sector organisations, and Indigenous peoples in Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia on natural resources, environmental, public, constitutional, Indigenous, and Treaty law and policy matters. I am admitted to practice in New Zealand and Victoroia, Australia and have worked for top tier law firms and as a Principal Lawyer and Policy Executive with Government. I understand the legal and policy concerns of governments, Indigenous peoples, and those who work with them.

My work as a barrister includes legal opinions and advice, law reform and policy analysis, and expert witness work. I am able to act on direct instructions from clients in appropriate circumstances but also take instructions from solicitors throughout New Zealand.
