A former Principal and Director of the firm, Graeme co-founded TODD & WALKER Law with Principal Michael Walker, setting a high standard for one of Queenstown’s most diverse and expert law firms.

Graeme says his motivation is: “The clients I get to work for, the people I work with and meet (staff and other professionals) and the long-standing family client relationships I have, now reaching into third generations.”
