She says that NB Lawyers is proud to have played a role in Jones Group's expansion, including advising on the Aurora development in Hamilton. The irm has built its reputation on technical property knowledge and experience. "When we say we know property - we really mean it. Fellow director John Neverman's knowledge in particular is extensive and that knowledge has iltered through to the rest of the team. It's one reason we have had such long-standing relationship with Jones Group as they are often tackling complex projects and, like us, take great pride in having very high standards," says Shannan. The leadership team at the practice is enhanced by the complementary skills of the three directors. Shannan brings years of experience in resource management and property law from both Auckland and Hamilton, with a particular focus on property development. Having completed developments herself, she o ers clients insights from both legal and practical perspectives. John contributes extensive property law knowledge, particularly in registration matters, gained through 21 years at Land Information New Zealand before entering private practice. His advice is sought after not only by clients but also by other professionals including lawyers and surveyors.
