Do you want a lawyer who has Experience, Expertise and Cares?
Then David is your man.
Experience
David has a long career in the law, including three years with Public Trust in Wellington and Whanganui and 12 years with, what was then, Connell Lamb Gerard & Co in Whangarei. He then established Northlaw in 1986.
This background puts David's clients at ease knowing that there are few if any situations he hasn't already seen many times before and knows what's required to get things right for them.
Caring expertise
David's time at Public Trust created a great platform for his property law expertise. In particular he learned the art of Will drafting, in the context of the wide range of possible permutations around family property matters.
But being a Wills expert and property law specialist are not the only strings to David's bow. Contribution to the community and his profession are part of who he is. He has tutored Commercial law at the Northland Polytechnic, as it was then (now NorthTec - Tai Tokerau Wananga) and run seminars on Family Trusts and Real Estate matters.
His concern to see the law profession well governed and steering in the right direction is demonstrated by his dedicated membership of the Council of Auckland District Law Society Incorporated (2009-2012) and his signficant ongoing contributions to the New Zealand Law Society Property Law Section, as a member of it's Executive Committee.
David has also contributed to the Kamo, Whangarei and Northland communities in other ways including time as a Lion, and serving on the Committee of the Kamo Club, and his children's School Committees.
