Over nearly 40 years, Grant's unique approach to client problems has removed complexity and has ensured focus on the critical issues. This has often sped up the process, made it more cost-effective and has diminished client stress. Although he's led more class or group actions than any other NZ practitioner, he brings a wealth of experience in public relations, media, and political lobbying, which has application across a broad suite of professional services. Grant has initiated innovative resolution mechanisms in particular cases, some of which have been currently adapted by government to assist in the Greater Christchurch Recovery.
