Colenna has been practising as a lawyer since 2013 but her involvement within the legal industry dates back to 1999 providing her with an excellent understanding of clients and their needs.

She gained her Bachelor of Laws and Bachelor of Science majoring in psychology at the University of Canterbury and commenced practise in Christchurch for a medium sized firm, working predominantly with a large developer organisation on large scale subdivisions. Colenna has also gained experience across a wide range of private client matters including all aspects of property work from residential through to commercial and rural transactions, as well as estate planning matters including family trusts. She also has experience across a number of commercial and business matters.

Colenna prides herself on providing pragmatic advice tailored to her clients, it is not a one size fits all world. She takes a holistic approach to her advice, considering all elements of her client’s lives and the impact of whatever legal transaction they are currently undertaking.
Outside of work, Colenna is kept busy with her two boys, husband and their family dog adventuring around the region.
