Staying connected
to our alumni
At Duncan Cotterill, we value the relationships we build with our people and embody our value of He tāngata. Our alumni events are an important part of maintaining these connections, offering opportunities to reconnect, share experiences and stay informed about developments at the firm.
Whether based in New Zealand or overseas, our alumni remain an integral part of our community, and we’re always pleased to welcome familiar faces back—for a catch-up or a return to the firm.
Message from the chair
We offer outstanding career opportunities and our enterprising culture makes Duncan Cotterill a unique place to develop professionally. The firm is always on the lookout for capable and likeminded talent.
We appreciate our alumni know talented people and for those hard to fill roles we will extend the initiative to our alumni network – what a great way to get rewarded! To learn more contact our People and Culture team.

Alumni London May 2025
In May 2025, we hosted our annual London alumni event, welcoming 18 attendees. The event was hosted by Duncan Cotterill Partners Jonathan Scragg and Rob Coltman, alongside Senior Associate Dion Morley. This annual gathering plays a key role in maintaining strong overseas connections with our UK-based alumni.
This year, attendees were encouraged to bring a guest considering a return to work in New Zealand, providing them a unique chance to gain first-hand insight into life at Duncan Cotterill, directly from our partners and alumni. Our next London event is scheduled for May 2026.
Alumni Sydney February 2025
In February 2025, we welcomed 18 alumni for drinks and nibbles with Duncan Cotterill Partners Alastair Espie, Juliet Short, and Rob Coltman in Sydney. The event reflected our strong Trans-Tasman relationships and reaffirmed our commitment to staying connected with our Australian alumni. Our next Sydney alumni event is planned for early 2026.
