Barbara Buckett

Barbara is the principal of a boutique law firm in Wellington that serves clients across New Zealand. She has extensive experience in workplace issues and is an experienced litigator.

Barbara completed her Law degree at the University of Canterbury. Widely acknowledged as an expert in the employment law field, Barbara has a particular interest in Tikanga Māori in employment and governance law and has written articles on topics such as Matariki and the growing influence of Tikanga in employment law.

Barbara has strong personal affiliations with Rapaki in Christchurch and has provided advice to the Kohanga Reo National Trust for many years.

Barbara is honoured and humbled by the opportunity to serve He Herenga Kura and trusts that she can reciprocate this as she assumes the role of a director.

She also hopes that her contribution can match the learning and experience for her as she serves as a director on an organisation that aligns with her own social values; where whanau and tamariki are at the forefront; where everyone has fundamental equality of access to basic needs and care; and where everyone has the opportunity to achieve their aspirations.
