We needed an independent review of some of our organisation’s legal functions. Juno Legal were fantastic in providing a highly skilled former General Counsel who joined a high calibre panel that also comprised a Queen’s Counsel and Crown Law. I really appreciated Juno’s understanding of what type of lawyer we needed and their responsiveness throughout the engagement.
Matt's deep understanding of the drivers of an in-house team, and the needs (and wants!) of its lawyers, was instrumental in the successful implementation of new systems. Matt was a delight to work with through-out - knowledgeable, proactive, efficient among many qualities - with an ability to understand both the legal and the 'techie' perspectives (our IT people are still gutted that he's gone) and translate that into a fit for purpose solution for our team. I can thorough recommend Matt to anyone who wants to improve their systems and processes.
You did a fantastic job in outlining what it means to be a high performing team and what the journey looks like for Kāinga Ora legal. The work you did with Auckland Council was particularly interesting – ‘simple’ tools but with clearly with a significant amount of thought and analysis sitting behind them.
Juno Legal have been a great support to Dyson ANZ. Our legal team are based in Australia, however deal with issues relating to our New Zealand business on a regular basis. We were looking for support from a firm in NZ that could provide cost efficient advice on various ad hoc matters that arise from time to time. Marissa from Juno Legal, has been great at filling this need for us and has provided clear and timely advice that has hit the mark on a variety of matters.
Jeremy is working out absolutely fantastically and he is exactly what I wanted and needed for me and his team. He has worked out very quickly where the issues are and is now addressing them professionally. He is enabling his team to demonstrate how well they can do their jobs and I am already receiving petitions to keep him on forever!
When Airways had a lawyer go on parental leave, Matt came in to help: We are so grateful to have someone of Matt’s calibre providing parental leave cover. He’s full of fresh ideas for ways to enhance our systems and his creativity, knowledge, pragmatism and obvious personal enthusiasm for all things “tech” mean he brings real wisdom and perspective to our ICT contracting (and other commercial contracting) work. I had approached Juno looking for someone to help us maintain status quo during a team member’s absence, but I got someone who enhanced our operations.
We are a big fan of the Juno model, and Sarah Graydon in particular. Sarah is a highly respected lawyer who headed the legal team at NZ Post meaning she brings all this experience with her. She is incredibly pragmatic, fast, intuitive and knowledgeable. We have also benefitted hugely from Sarah’s wide range of different experiences and ability to provide us with more general consultation advice (for example on some unnecessary complexity in the way we do things).
I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed working with Nikki. She was amazingly efficient at everything she did, built great relationships all around the business and was good fun to have around the office. We really enjoyed her being here and were sad to see her go. I really like your business model and have told lots of people about how well it’s worked for us.
Just a quick note to say that I have really appreciated working with Marissa over the last wee while. I have enjoyed her pragmatism and common sense, not to mention her fantastic legal skills and sense of humour! She has been a highly valued member of our team and a very safe pair of hands.
