Jane Fletcher replaces Brent Winkelmann, who retires after six years on the board
NZ LAW Limited has elected Downie Stewart partner Jane Fletcher to its board.
She steps in for Taupō lawyer Brent Winkelmann, who retired after a two-term tenure totalling six years. NZ LAW chair Dan Moore said that Fletcher’s skills would be “most useful to NZ LAW’s Property Special Interest Group.”
Fletcher’s experience spans a wide range of matters related to land development and subdivision, residential and commercial conveyancing, and estate planning. She is part of the New Zealand Property Law Section Land Transactions Sub-committee.
In her practice, she has represented mum and dad family trusts and bodies corporate comprising more than 400 owners. She has tackled matters involving large-scale unit title subdivisions and redevelopment; moreover, she has drafted bespoke contracts for soil anchor and airspace licences, as well as all manner of land covenants and agreements.
Fletcher joins a board that includes Fletcher, Moore, Shehan de Silva (deputy chair), Melissa Bourke, Amanda Crehan, Greg Kelly, and Sam Walker. Moore acknowledged Winkelmann’s contributions to the organisation, which included major improvements to library packages. As director, he also managed NZ LAW’s financial portfolio.
Earlier this month, Darrin Rogers stepped up to NZ LAW Limited’s leadership as general manager.
