Simone
Goldstone

As a Solicitor in the Corporate and Commercial team, I assist a wide range of businesses achieve their commercial objectives by offering practical and workable solutions.  I enjoy the variety and nature of corporate work and have experience in a range of areas including mergers, acquisitions, contracts, financing, and Māori trust investments.

Prior to joining Cooney Lees Morgan in May 2021, I was a recipient of the Prime Minister’s Scholarship to Asia where I completed internships at two law firms in Vietnam, Shin & Kim Law in Ho Chi Minh and Nhquang & Associates in Hanoi. During these placements I assisted with policy translation and legal research, while also having the privilege of building and developing relationships with other legal professionals to help connect our two countries.

During my studies I volunteered for many years at the Baywide Community Law Centre and was invited to become a member of the Golden Key International Honour Society – the world’s largest collegiate honour society for graduate and undergraduate students.

Outside of work, I love to spend time with my daughter, friends, and family. Taking walks up Mount Maunganui or relaxing with a good book and a glass of red wine.
