Candace Parrant

Kia Ora, I’m Candace and I’m proud to be joining join the team at Tiaki Family Law this year. I was drawn to Tiaki because of its genuine commitment to transparency, resolution, and access to justice, as those values reflect my own.

 Before moving into law, I worked in healthcare in management and client-focussed roles, where kindness, compassion, and understanding were essential. That experience shaped how I work with people — with patience, respect, and an understanding that often there is much more going on beneath the surface.

 Family law is personal for me. As a child I remember having a family lawyer visit me at school during a difficult time. I remember looking forward to her visits because she created a safe space where I could talk about things which were difficult to discuss at home.

I believe my childhood experiences help me understand the compassion required in sensitive matters within the family law space.
