Natasha Alley

Natasha was born and educated in the Waikato. After obtaining a Bachelor of Law (Hons) and Social Sciences at the University of Waikato, Natasha worked at leading law firms in Auckland and London. She then spent a decade in a quasi-judicial role at the Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand in Wellington where she determined trade mark and designs disputes with a right of appeal to the High Court.

Natasha recently returned to the Waikato where she works as Special Counsel in the civil litigation team at Tompkins Wake. In addition to her dispute resolution and intellectual property expertise, Natasha provides privacy law and media law advice. She has also had the privilege of representing multiple national sporting bodies and the International Olympic Committee.

Natasha and her husband live in semi-rural Waikato with their two children who are involved in multiple sporting and extracurricular activities. They also enjoy making the most of the beautiful cycleways and beaches the Waikato has on offer.
