Karl is a Trust Administrator at Sutcliffe Matson Law, an Auckland law firm specialising in property and conveyancing, family law, commercial law, and wills and estates. He works closely with clients to help establish, manage, and review trusts, ensuring trust structures remain up to date and continue to meet clients' needs. His role involves guiding clients through trust-related changes and providing practical support throughout the process.

Building strong relationships is one of the aspects of his role that Karl enjoys most. He values the opportunity to meet clients face-to-face, take the time to understand their circumstances, and help them feel comfortable and supported when making important decisions. Clients appreciate his approachable manner and his commitment to providing a positive experience from start to finish.

Karl takes particular pride in helping clients navigate complex trust matters and achieve outcomes they feel confident about. For him, the most rewarding part of the job is seeing clients leave with a clear understanding of their options and peace of mind that the right decisions have been made.

Before joining our team at Sutcliffe Matson Law, Karl worked for a government agency, where he developed a strong foundation in administration and client service. Those skills have transitioned naturally into his role as a Trust Administrator, where attention to detail, organisation, and clear communication are essential.

His colleagues describe him as approachable, supportive, and friendly, qualities that make him a valued member of both the team and the wider client community.

Outside the office, Karl enjoys spending time with his partner and children and is actively involved in Touch Rugby as both a player and coach. In fact, many people are surprised to learn that he has coached Touch Rugby at an international level, an achievement that reflects his passion for the sport and his commitment to helping others develop their skills.
