Glenn has been part of the McCaw Lewis team since 2019 when he started as General Manager. The appointment as Chief Executive is a significant role and one which reflects Glenn’s contribution to the firm’s vision, strategic objectives, and overall management.

Executive Director, Renika Siciliano, says “Glenn’s strength is in his genuine desire to see every individual succeed and thrive. He embodies our firm value of manaakitanga - uplifting the mana of others in all his actions. Combine those traits with his excellent business insights and skills, and our firm is in great hands going forward.”

Glenn has managed the firm during the COVID pandemic, as well as the retirements and departures of a number of very senior Directors and other staff. He has been instrumental in helping drive a values-based culture through all aspects of the firm.

Founded in 1919, McCaw Lewis has grown to become one of the Waikato’s leading law firms, specialising in commercial, Te Tiriti o Waitangi, property, dispute resolution, asset planning, environmental/natural resources, workplace law and te ture whenua Māori (Māori land law).
