Michael Smyth (Premium Author) - Click Here To Read Michael's Articles - Six years old sounds a peculiar time to
start to legal career, but that's the
first memory I have of going to my Dad's
law firm located in the heart of legal
London. So, with law running in the
family, the natural choice at University
was a law degree. I also had a keen
interest in Sports Law and obtained a Post
Graduate Certificate in the subject from
Kings College London.
I came to New Zealand for a year, but like
a lot of people I quite liked the place,
and I'm still here practising law as a
self employed barrister and running three
businesses: Approachable Lawyer,
Sportscounsel and The Sports Risk
Management Group (the last two even allow
me to combine my passion for law with my
passion for sport).
So in my 11 or so years of practice I have
read numerous cases, helped many clients
out of the mire and set up a number of
businesses. That means not only am I a
lawyer with an expertise in employment and
sport, but I am also a businessman. This
gives me a good insight into a number of
problems my clients face. I also like to
pride myself on my approachability - But
don't take my word for it, visit my
