He led Glaister Ennor’s residential and land development team for many years. That team dealt with a broad range of property transactions from sales and purchases of all types of properties to the sale of developments for property developers including a significant number of unit title developments. Tim developed an intimate understanding of land development following the passing of the Resource Management Act 1991. He also has a keen understanding and knowledge of unit titles and was involved in the mid-1970s with developers who were the forerunners of the land development industry, using the 1972 Unit Titles Act for multi-unit developments. Tim has been involved with the drafting of the Unit Titles Act 2010 and the amendment Act 2022. Since 2018 Tim has been practicing as a barrister sole advising on a broad range of land, property and unit title problems. Tim has always been heavily involved in Law Society affairs.
