Caitlin Chapman

Kia ora! I began my journey with Tiaki Family Law in September 2025, originally joining the team as a Secretary. Since then, I have continued to progress in my legal career, and I am proud to now be working as a Lawyer within the firm.

I completed a Bachelor of Laws in 2021 before taking some time off to focus on my family. I was then admitted to the bar in 2022, and worked as a Legal Assistant from 2023-2024. I’ve always enjoyed helping people, and am passionate about access to justice, so working in family law was a natural evolution for me.

 My lived experience, both personally and professionally, has helped me develop a deep understanding of the challenges faced by those navigating the family law system. I know how significant these processes and outcomes are for the well-being of individuals, their tamariki, and their wider whānau. As a lawyer, I will approach your situation with empathy and professionalism. I strive to deliver clear guidance, responsive communication, and empowering support, to help you achieve the absolute best outcomes in your circumstances, and to help you move forward with confidence.
