There he acted for a range of large and small clients including some of New Zealand's leading manufacturers such as Fisher & Paykel Appliances, Navman and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare in home appliance, GPS in-car navigation software and healthcare appliance technologies.

Brendon rejoined GJE in 2006 where he is again involved in advising clients involved in the electrical, mechanical and software areas.

Outside of work Brendon enjoys travelling and his young family.
