Experience:

Clark graduated from Otago University with a Bachelor of Laws in 1994 and was admitted to the bar the following year. He joined the MACTODD partnership in 2004 after working with the firm for two years, following a two year locum role in London, practicing as a conveyancing solicitor.

After graduating Clark worked for a Dunedin law firm for four years accumulating a wide range of general practice experience in all areas, including criminal and civil court, property, trusts and company law.

Since joining MACTODD in 2002 his focus has been largely in the commercial property area where he acts for commercial property and business owners and purchasers and property developers undertaking significant and often complex transactions. These include the sale and purchase of hotels and large development and commercial sites.

Clark’s commercial clients have property portfolios relating to Queenstown, Otago, Southland and other parts of New Zealand. He has a growing client base of overseas clients and is recognised for his extensive experience with Overseas Investment Office applications and other legislation affecting offshore investors.

Apart from his commercial practice Clark’s specialty areas include residential and rural conveyancing, family trusts and estate planning, relationship property agreements, wills, leases, business structures and succession, companies and investment trusts, commercial licenses and leases, subdivisions, unit titles and all aspects of property law.

Clark was brought up on a sixth generation Southland farming property and retains strong links with the family venture as a director and trustee.

Clark is Chair of Queenstown Sky City Casino Trust.

He has a varied sporting background and as a top level skeet shooter has represented New Zealand at Olympic Skeet Shooting International Cup and Championship events throughout the world. He plays cricket and squash and is enthusiastic about jet boating, making the most of the outstanding boating rivers in the Southern Lakes region.
