Ash Hill is a partner in the firm's Auckland-based corporate and finance team and was appointed to the board this year. Hill recently led the firm's M&A team on a number of significant transactions including advising SKY TV on its Series A investment in 90 Seconds and advising Cedenco on its acquisition of aquaculture and mussel farming assets from Sealord, including a 50% stake in North Island Mussels Limited.
Lucy de Latour is a specialist local government and resource management lawyer. For the past year she has been on secondment as acting general counsel for the largest regional council in NZ, Environment Canterbury.
During that time she was involved in advising the council on its significant land and water planning programmes, a range of earthquake recovery issues, public transport and the myriad of other matters regional councils have regulatory responsibility for.
Now back in the fold at Wynn Williams, de Latour continues to advise Environment Canterbury on a range of issues, particularly in relation to the implementation of the groundbreaking Canterbury Water Management Strategy and the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management.
