Kelly Hawkins

A born and bred Cantabrian, Kelly studied law at the University of Canterbury before moving to Wellington in 2006 where she was admitted to the bar. She worked as Deputy Registrar in the Wellington Family Court, then took a position as a family lawyer working in both Porirua and on the Kapiti Coast.

However, home was calling and Kelly moved back to Christchurch in September 2010. She continued her focus on family law, before taking some time out to start her own family.
