Tarnished Frocks and Divas celebrates and empowers women

Tauranga law firm Cooney Lees Morgan is proud to have been involved in this fabulous show since its inception back in 2005 and we continue to offer pro bono legal services to the trustees who bring it all to life every two years.

Our former Senior Associate Lisa Denyer helped set up the initial Tarnished Frocks and Divas Trust and has worked tirelessly over the years to provide legal services as and when needed. Partner Mary Hill says that responsibility has now passed to Partner Rebecca Graham.

“It’s humming along really nicely now but the nature of legal issues means when they do arise, it’s all go. We’re very much there ready to help if needed but the fun bit is we get to buy a table each year and host our female clients which we thoroughly enjoy doing.”
