Kerri Schofield

Kerri is a Senior Legal Executive of our Property Team.

Kerri qualified as a Legal Executive in 2008 and was appointed a Fellow of Legal Executives New Zealand in 2023. Prior to working at McCaw Lewis, she specialised in rural and residential conveyancing.

Kerri’s approach to working with clients is friendly and willing to help. She believes in getting to know her clients so she can provide practical, individual advice personalized for their needs. Her primary strengths are her ability to problem-solve and effectively de-escalate stressful situations that can arise during property transactions. She enjoys all aspects of her work, particularly helping a variety of clients including first home buyers, home sellers, and those involved in refinancing, rural transactions, and subdivisions.

Kerri was inspired to pursue a career as a Legal Executive after seeing how busy and crucial the role was in a law firm. She wanted to be a part of that essential work, leading her to complete her papers.

Outside of the office, Kerri is motivated by setting goals to continually improve and be better. She prioritises spending time with her whānau, catching up with friends, hiking, reading, and going to the beach.

Kerri joined the firm in 2017 and was appointed to the role of Senior Legal Executive in 2018.
