Corcoran French is pleased to welcome Mathew Munro and Ari Barrow to the Partnership.

Mat joined Corcoran French in 2017, with Ari joining us in 2020. Since then, both have become valued members of our Christchurch Commercial team, working closely with clients and colleagues and making an important contribution to the firm.

Their experience, commitment and hard work have been recognised with their appointment to the Partnership, and we’re delighted to have them take this next step with Corcoran French.

Congrats, Mat and Ari!

Golf Day is this Friday!

We’re looking forward to welcoming our players, sponsors and supporters to the 2026 Corcoran French Golf Day, raising funds for Ronald McDonald House South Island.

Corcoran French has proudly supported Ronald McDonald House since 2015, and we’re pleased to continue that support through this year’s Golf Day. Their work provides a home away from home for families while their children receive medical treatment away from home, helping families stay together during what can be an incredibly difficult time.

Every dollar raised through our 2026 Golf Day will go towards supporting the important work Ronald McDonald House does for families across New Zealand.

A huge thank you to all of our sponsors, players and supporters for getting behind the day. We’re looking forward to a great day on the course and raising as much as we can for a cause we’re proud to support.

A wee change of scenery for some of our team recently, swapping the office for the kitchen at Ronald McDonald House.

As proud sponsors of RMH, it was great to get involved and cook dinner for the families staying there.

An amazing outcome for St Thomas of Canterbury College, with the school now set to remain an important part of Christchurch with the Catholic Bishop of Christchurch to take over as proprietor.

We’re proud to have been involved in helping navigate this matter and, most importantly, achieving a positive result for the College.

A big thank you to our team, Mark Henderson, Virginia Nichols and Grace Aislabie for your hard work and commitment throughout the matter, and also a big thank you to our counsel, Jeremy Johnson.

It’s always rewarding to see the work we do contribute to outcomes that have a meaningful impact on our community.

St Thomas of Canterbury College’s future was in doubt after plans for sell-off to fund s*x abuse survivor payments.
