Representing client Trevor Ozawa, Deirdre argued the matter before the Hawaiʻi Supreme Court on August 25, 2026. Three days later, on August 28, the Court issued decisions addressing the dispute and concluding that Waters was not eligible to seek another consecutive term on the City Council under the Honolulu Charter’s term-limit provision.

The matter presented complex questions involving the interpretation of the Honolulu Charter and Hawaiʻi election law and proceeded on an expedited timeline because of the upcoming general election.

The result reflects Deirdre’s extensive appellate experience and her ability to navigate complex, time-sensitive matters before Hawaiʻi’s highest court.

Deirdre was joined in representing Ozawa by Goodsill attorneys Matthew D. Ezer and Kellie K. L. Wong.

Congratulations to Deirdre, Matthew, Kellie and the team on their work on this significant matter.

Goodsill was proud to serve as a Silver Sponsor of Hawaiʻi Tech Week 2026, supporting a weeklong gathering designed to strengthen connections and create opportunities across Hawaiʻi’s growing technology and innovation community.

Held August 31 through September 6 in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi Tech Week brought together more than 5,000 entrepreneurs, investors, technology professionals, business leaders, students and community members through more than 50 events at venues across the city.

Programming throughout the week addressed a broad range of industries and issues shaping Hawaiʻi’s economy and future, including artificial intelligence, aerospace, ocean technology, entrepreneurship, venture capital, workforce development and emerging technologies. Events ranged from executive discussions and educational sessions to startup demonstrations and networking opportunities.

As a sponsor, Goodsill helped support the broader Hawaiʻi Tech Week platform and its mission to accelerate talent, capital and technology adoption in Hawaiʻi while creating stronger connections between Hawaiʻi and the global technology community.

Goodsill Partner Daniel Lam was also featured as part of Hawaiʻi Tech Week content discussing the future of work and the growing role of artificial intelligence. Lam emphasized the importance of using emerging technology to improve efficiency while continuing to develop the human skills that technology cannot replace, including problem-solving, relationship-building, strategic thinking and the ability to bring people together.

Goodsill’s participation reflects the firm’s longstanding commitment to supporting Hawaiʻi’s business community, including the entrepreneurs and companies developing the next generation of products, services and technologies.

Goodsill congratulates the Hawaiʻi Tech Week organizers and extends its mahalo to the speakers, event hosts, sponsors and participants who contributed to a successful week. We are proud to support efforts that encourage innovation, strengthen Hawaiʻi’s business ecosystem and create opportunities for Hawaiʻi’s entrepreneurs and future leaders.]]></content>

Goodsill was pleased to join fellow members of the Exit Planning Exchange (XPX) Hawaii for a Networking Social on July 23, 2026, at the Kaliu Showroom in Honolulu. The gathering brought together professionals from across Hawaiʻi’s business advisory community to build relationships, exchange perspectives and strengthen collaboration on behalf of privately held businesses.

Through its Mergers &amp; Acquisitions practice group led by partners Daniel Lam and Jamie Fukumoto, Goodsill is proud to be a founding member of XPX Hawaii, together with Accuity and American Savings Bank. XPX Hawaii is the local chapter of the national Exit Planning Exchange, an organization that brings together multidisciplinary professionals who advise privately held businesses and their owners.

XPX takes a holistic approach to exit planning, recognizing that preparing for a successful transition is not simply a transaction at the end of a business owner’s journey. Rather, thoughtful planning throughout the life of a business can help owners strengthen their companies, build value, prepare for ownership transitions and create lasting legacies for their families, employees and communities.

The XPX model brings together professionals from a range of disciplines, including attorneys, accountants, bankers, wealth advisors, consultants, investors, valuation professionals and M&amp;A advisors. By encouraging collaboration among these professionals, XPX helps create a more coordinated network of expertise for business owners navigating important decisions throughout the business life cycle.

The July Networking Social provided another opportunity to strengthen those connections within Hawaiʻi’s business community. Professionals who work with business owners gathered to share expertise, develop relationships, and explore ways to better support clients seeking to grow and maximize the value of their businesses.

As a founding member of XPX Hawaii, Goodsill is excited to help establish and grow this collaborative network in Hawaiʻi and specifically to help business owners in successful exit transactions to family members, management/key personnel, or third-party buyers.
