She then relocated to London, where she logged over a decade working with the banking and finance team at Carey Olsen in London and the Channel Islands. At Carey Olsen, she focused on fund finance and real estate finance before returning to New Zealand in 2022.

Anthony Harper managing partner Malcolm Hurley confirmed that Clements is presently working with clients in relation to the government’s proposed amendments to the Retirement Villages Act.

Jolliffe works from Anthony Harper’s Ōtautahi (Christchurch) office. She started her tenure with the firm as a summer clerk in 2004 and has practised for more than 17 years.

She specialises in insolvency law, and her areas of expertise cover issues involving the repossession of goods, recovery of real property, and personal and corporate insolvency. She also has an interest in providing debt recovery solutions to clients.

Jolliffe’s clients include financiers, banks, and insolvency practitioners.
