Brother v brother Two brothers were anything but brothers in arms in the High Court in Auckland on 16 March. In fact, they appeared on opposite sides.
Anderson Lloyd has appointed two new associates, Sarah Eveleigh and Fiona McMillan. Fiona was a teacher for 20 years before studying law, and is a member of the firm’s specialised education and employment law team based in Dunedin. Sarah is a member of the resource management team with a reputation for making the seemingly impossible possible. She has been involved in a number of successful rezoning proposals as well as a variety of complex waterrelated consent projects. Richard Greenaway joins the Anderson Lloyd team in mid-April. Richard has been appointed chief executive officer and he will be based in the Dunedin office. Richard’s previous experience is primarily in senior management positions in the banking sector.
Nick Flanagan and Meredith Connell partner, the oldest in his family, appeared for the prosecution in the Air Cargo case. Acting for Air New Zealand for the defence were Bell Gully partner Simon Ladd and Nick’s youngest brother Richard, who is a lawyer at Bell Gully. Mr Ladd introduced Richard to Justice Asher as “Flanagan Junior” to the amusement of the judge.
Perhaps a meeting of this kind was inevitable. Lawyering runs in the family. Nick and Richard’s mother, Lois Flanagan is a partner of Parry Field in Christchurch. As she studied for her law degree later in life, Lois was at law school with Nick for part of that time. Another of her sons, Hamish, is a lawyer in Canada. Formerly with Russell McVeagh in Wellington and the office of the Auditor-General, also in the capital, Hamish is now with the Auditor-General in Victoria, British Columbia. LT
