The other Jane

When you're not a lawyer?

I enjoy an active lifestyle, the company of good friends, the outdoors, a great book and a glass of wine. I have also been known to spend time in my gumboots on our family farm in Wanganui!

In another life?

A farmer or perhaps a journalist.

Why JL?

At Johnston Lawrence we will go the extra mile for you. We want to work alongside you in helping you achieve the things that really matter. Your successes are our successes too.
