There’s been an injection of new blood into the leadership team at Ōrewa legal firm North Harbour Law, with the appointment of three new owner-director lawyers – Jeanine Mitchell, Mike Hawkins and Will Hunt, all of whom have been with the firm for a number of years.
They join Chris Hunt and Tony Edward, who have been partners at the practice and its predecessor firms for more than 25 years.
Two of the three new directors are locals born and bred – Jeanine was head girl at Ōrewa College and is daughter of local accountant Merv Huxford and Mike grew up in Whangaparāoa, where his parents were both GPs. Will is Chris Hunt’s son, who lives on the North Shore and is a fifth generation lawyer. All three of them have young families and are committed to a long term future providing legal services on the Coast.
