Introducing Our Key Education Day Workshops And Presenters:
 
•Martelli McKegg Lawyers - The Legal Implications Of Flood and Storm Damage
Auckland and other parts of the North Island have been ravaged by storms. If we are in fact going into recession this year, then this is likely to be a boost to the building industry.
