Profile

Juliette is an admitted barrister and solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand. Her research and practice sit at the intersection of global health law, economic and commercial determinants of health, and the international legal frameworks that shape both. She works across WHO FCTC implementation and other legal instruments for public health protection, noncommunicable disease law and policy, business and human rights, pharmaceutical access and intellectual property, and sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Her professional and academic background is in law, policy and international relations, with education spanning leading universities in Auckland, Hong Kong, Washington DC, London and Geneva. Her full-time work life has been split between the World Health Organization and the O’Neill Institute, where she has applied her training to issues of legal and regulatory design, litigation defence, governance and political economy, human rights, international negotiations, and global normative development.

Her home base is Aotearoa New Zealand, but she usually spends more than half of any given year travelling between London, India, Europe and the United States. Please do reach out if you would like to speak with her online or arrange a time to meet in person.
