Sam is the Manager of City Partnerships at Tauranga City Council and was, until recently, the General Counsel at Tauranga City Council. In addition to leading two legal teams in this role, Sam led the risk, procurement and internal audit functions at the council.
Sam is a fifth-generation Tauranga local, and after moving back from Auckland where he worked in private practice, he made the move in-house to support the work of the council in delivering for the community and helping make the city a little more awesome every day.
He is passionate about how in-house teams can truly be part of the organisation. Sam won the 2024 ILANZ Community Contribution Award and is a finalist for Young In-House Lawyer of the Year at the 2024 New Zealand Law Awards.
