We congratulate Ngatatau Tumango, this year’s recipient of the Garry Spooner Scholarship. Ngatatau is a third-year law student at the University of Otago and will join the Treadwell Gordon legal team this summer for work experience.
Ngatatau was attracted to Treadwell Gordon because of the firm’s diverse range of expertise within the legal field and our commitment to recognising each client's individual needs. As a Māori woman, she aims to bring additional diversity and tailor her expertise to help clients effectively. She is an active member of the community and has spent considerable time volunteering with the Citizens Advice Bureau, Age Concern Otago, and mentoring younger law students through Te Roopū Whai Pūtake (Otago Māori Law Students Society).
With a diverse background and a passion for all aspects of life, Ngatatau is eager to join the Treadwell Gordon team and tackle every challenge and opportunity that comes her way.
