Suz Kuru

Capability

I am an achievement-focused, pragmatic in-house lawyer with a versatile background including infrastructure, regulatory law and public sector governance. My experience spans both private and public in-house roles. Known for my energy, empathy, and collaborative style, I thrive in fast-paced settings and build strong relationships across teams.

My legal career has covered telecommunications, local and central government and private practice, with expertise in property, commercial contracting, procurement and public works. I have led legal input on infrastructure and technology projects, including a secondment supporting the legislative drafting and implementation of the Fast-track Approvals Act 2024.  I am passionate about delivering clear, practical advice, that shapes strategy, and I regularly present at industry events and contribute to legal training. Clients value my strategic insight, can-do attitude and solutions-focused approach. I live and work remotely in Urutī, Taranaki.
