Expertise
Tash is a Senior Associate and is an Immigration Law expert based out of our Queenstown office.
Tash has been working in the immigration field for 12 years. Her experience includes immigration visa processing, technical and risk advice for the New Zealand Government and the management of immigration professionals in both the public and private sectors.
Before joining Anderson Lloyd, Tash spent several years leading a specialist immigration team in Christchurch. Prior to that she held various roles with Immigration New Zealand and spent two years working for a large global immigration firm. Her experience crosses multiple jurisdictions, having spent time based in Washington DC, London and Singapore.

Due to her experience, she is also regularly instructed to act for clients in medical waiver, character waiver, special direction and employer compliance issues. With it becoming increasingly difficult for individuals and employers to navigate the ever-changing immigration rules, Tash would be happy to help make these immigration processes as straight-forward as possible.
