Frontline Law's Wellington office, at Level 2, 90 Dixon Street in Te Aro, is part of a firm with offices in Wellington and Whangarei that serves clients across New Zealand. The firm's distinctive character comes from its founder and team, many of whom bring backgrounds in the military and police to their legal work.
Frontline Law was founded by Matthew Hague, whose career spans the New Zealand Defence Force and the New Zealand Police, including roles as a technician and weapons engineer, frontline policing, specialist tactical teams, police intelligence, and eventually military lawyer. That background gives him a grounded understanding of high-pressure situations and the legal complexities surrounding them, which he has carried into advocating for clients in tribunals and courts.
The firm focuses on four main areas: military law, covering Court Martial, appeals against Summary Trial outcomes, and administrative complaints; employment law, supporting both employees and employers through workplace conflict; regulation and professional discipline, for people subject to special rules such as health workers and teachers; and litigation, for clients facing criminal or civil legal proceedings.
Senior solicitor Victor Corbett began his career in the Royal New Zealand Navy as a military communications specialist before moving into compliance roles and eventually becoming an employment advocate, now based in Whangarei. Associate Shaun Baker served as a soldier and legal advisor in the Army, including an operational deployment, before working as a Police prosecutor, and now lives in Wellington. Rounding out the team are solicitors Kathryn Wang, a Victoria University of Wellington law graduate with volunteer experience at Community Law, and Megan Fitness, an Otago University graduate with experience on the Police prosecution team.
Frontline Law offers a free initial consultation for anyone with a legal problem, giving prospective clients a chance to talk through their situation and understand their options before committing to representation.
