Steven Mutch
I am the Principal Barrister of MutchLaw Ltd, specialising in criminal traffic and assault law. My representation with clients is on a private basis only; I do not undertake work through Legal Aid. While I am based in Auckland, my work frequently takes me all throughout NZ. I value clear and concise communication with clients to ensure that they understand all court proceedings. I hold a Master of Laws (LLM) and a Bachelor of Business degree (majoring in Finance). I was previously employed within the NZ Defence Force as a Communications Systems Operator. This allowed me to provide a supporting role with the NZ Special Air Service (SAS) on deployments, where I gained invaluable theoretical and practical skills. I have also spent time on duty in Afghanistan in 2008 before returning to NZ to pursue my long-time passion for criminal law. Everybody deserves someone who can help them navigate the legal system, no matter their circumstances. I am proud to represent all my clients to the best of my ability.

"I have recently been through the Family Violence Court system seeking a discharge without conviction which was achieved. This outcome would not have been possible if it wasn’t for Steven’s expertise and support throughout the entire process. I can’t express highly enough my gratitude for his hard work and it goes without saying that I highly recommend his services."

"One of the best Law firms I have ever dealt with. Very professional and friendly, client oriented. They keep you updated, not like other law firms who take your money and leave you on your own. Steven is a very intelligent lawyer."
