Our People
Wilan
Principal
Wilan, originally from Singapore, came to New Zealand in the early 1980s. She completed her law degree at the University of Auckland and has been a lawyer for over 30 years. The first seven years of her law career were spent in Kaitaia dealing in property, family and rural law. Her move to Auckland coincided with an increased influx of overseas investors and new migrants from Asia to NZ.
With her Chinese language and cultural background, she is able to serve the Chinese community and yet be equally at home, helping out the local Kiwi community in areas of property, commercial leases, business sales and purchase, family trust and estate matters.
