The Team
David Brown
|
BA, LLB - Principal
Graduating in 1971, David Brown has practiced as a Barrister and Solicitor since. He established David J Brown & Associates in 1988 with the vision of being an approachable, professional practice that works hard to find the best solutions for its clients.
As an active member of the Titirangi community, David is a familiar face in many of the area’s organisations including the Titirangi Tennis and Squash Racquets Club where he is honorary solicitor, the Titirangi Presbyterian Church Board, where he has been Chairman and the New Lynn Rotary Club where he has been a Rotarian since 1979 and has twice been Club President. David was also the secretary of Titirangi Village project, a tremendous venture that led to the creation of the now vibrant Tititrangi Village Project.
David is a passionate problem solver and thoroughly enjoys working with the diversity of clientele that walk through the doors of his practice each day. And it’s a passion that is in the blood of the Brown family – David’s wife Linda the practice’s office manager, and one of his daughters who is also a Solicitor.
