After 6 and a half years, as an elected representative on the Council of ADLS, David has reluctantly stood down. He completed his term on Friday 14 October 2016. This was 5 months before the scheduled end of his term. The demands of a busy Whangarei based practice had simply become too great, and of course David’s commitment to his clients always had to come first.

David is very grateful for the support he received from friends and colleagues during his time on the Council . Recognition of his contribution has been forthcoming from several members of the legal profession. A senior colleague in Whangarei, Ian Reeves, recently thanked David for the huge personal commitment and skill he devoted to the role.
