Presently, Davies-Colley heads up WRMK Lawyers’ team in Kerikeri. He expressed his eagerness to help clients through their recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic in his position.
“It’s a privilege to lead our team in Kerikeri—which is growing as fast as Kerikeri itself. I am grateful to the firm and my valued clients. I look forward to helping Northlanders and their businesses with the COVID recovery and beyond,” he said.
Managing director Wayne McKean applauded Davies-Colley’s addition to the firm’s board following the retirement of Neil McNab this year, rounding out the number of directors at 10.
“Simon is a very clever lawyer who provides an excellent service to our clients. He is known for his straight-talking and practical approach to solving client’s legal issues. We are thrilled to welcome him as a director. He will make a valuable contribution at our board table,” he said.
WRMK Lawyers also elevated Alice Chapman to associate. A lawyer on the firm’s rural team, she is an expert in asset planning and rural matters.
Chapman joined the firm in 2006 before relocating to Australia for a period. She returned to New Zealand and to WRMK Lawyers in 2016.
“We congratulate Alice on her well-deserved promotion to associate. We highly value Alice’s expertise in our rural team. And our clients think she is just great,” McKean said.
