Our People

Angela is our Trust Manager and manages our professional trusteeships held by our Sharp Tudhope Trustee Services companies. Angela qualified as a Legal Executive in 1999 and started working for our firm in 2005 after returning to Tauranga following overseas travel.

Trust law has come under intense scrutiny in recent years and with seemingly regular updates in legislation bringing increased compliance and reporting requirements for Trustees it is a busy and evolving area. Angela is approachable, proactive and strives to provide a plain English approach to Trust law complexities. Life and family dynamics can be complicated enough!

Angela has an in depth understanding of all things Trust law related and is also experienced in residential care matters. Angela is a “people person” and especially likes working with clients to ensure their asset planning and personal documents are in order and navigating practical solutions for challenging family situations.

Angela loves living in the Bay with her two teenage children and, outside of work, is a keen landscape gardener. On the weekends you’ll find her in her gumboots working on garden projects or exploring walking tracks in the area.
