Holly is an employment lawyer, and Senior Associate in Lane Neave’s Auckland Employment team.

She helps clients resolve workplace disputes, manage organisational risk and navigate complex employment issues with confidence. A trusted adviser to employers, employees and senior executives, Holly specialises in contentious and sensitive workplace matters, particularly where employment relationships have broken down, allegations have been raised or organisations face significant people-related challenges.

Known for her pragmatic and solutions-focused approach, Holly works closely with clients to identify practical pathways forward while balancing legal risk, commercial realities and broader workplace considerations. She is focused on achieving early, commercially sensible resolutions wherever possible, helping clients avoid the cost and uncertainty of litigation.

Holly regularly represents clients at mediation and has acted in matters before the Employment Relations Authority, Employment Court and Human Rights Review Tribunal. She also co-hosts employment law workshops and presents seminars on developments in employment law.
