But there’s no place like home for Barbara Reeve, who appreciates the lifestyle that living in the Bay of Plenty offers and enjoys biking the many picturesque trails in the region. Barbara has recently joined the law firm of Keam Standen as a senior registered legal executive. She is delighted to be a part of its close knit, supportive team and is thriving in its friendly environment. One of the aspects Barbara finds most rewarding about her position is meeting and getting to know the clients of the firm. “I really enjoy meeting and getting to know clients, developing a rapport and ongoing relationship with them and the
trust and confidence they have in me. I love acting for first home buyers because it’s a pleasure sharing the excitement of buying their first home with them.” With 20-plus years’ experience as a legal executive, Barbara’s position involves a variety of work, including residential conveyancing (buying and selling houses), commercial and rural conveyancing, refinancing, commercial leases, wills and Enduring Powers of Attorney. “I’m proud to be part of Keam Standen, which has an exceptional reputation within the local community and provides top quality service for a reasonable cost. I admire the integrity of the
