Brenton joined Webb Farry in April 2025 having worked in other Otago and Canterbury legal practices, including a large national firm.

Brenton graduated from Lincoln University with a Commerce Degree in the mid 1990s and later from the University of Otago with a Law Degree. He grew up on farms and spent a number of years mustering around the Otago hill country.

Brenton specialises in property, agri, high value business/commercial and succession. Brenton lives in Dunedin and services his extensive rural client base from both our Dunedin and Mosgiel offices. His clients are spread throughout the South Island and include those in the dairy industry as well as sheep and beef and cropping.

Brenton has worked hard over his career to develop a reputation as a leading agribusiness lawyer in the South Island. He prides himself on providing excellent, practical legal advice. He treats his clients as more than just a number, often becoming a friend and trusted member of their advisory team. He regularly visits his clients on farm and firmly believes the best way to know your client is to see them in their own environment. To this end you will often see him travelling the back roads of the lower South.

Outside of work, Brenton is married with two adult children and spends any down time he can get with his family in the hills above North Otago, occasionally outside of cellphone coverage.
