Kia ora everyone and welcome to episode 16 of Rice Speir Radio, coming to you live from day 1 of Level 3 here in Tamaki Makaurau. For anyone new to the show, we are a Podcast that focuses on all things local government. I’m your host, Nathan Speir, and I am Managing Partner of Rice Speir, a dedicated local government law firm helping councils make enduring decisions all over Aotearoa.  In this episode we decided to do something a little different and introduce you to some of our people. We are going to make this a bit of a series in which our incredibly talented Fiona Bird sits down with a member of the team to talk through how they got into local government law and what they’re into outside of work. It is an opportunity for you to peek behind the curtain and find out a little more about the lawyer you’re working with on a day to day basis.  Don’t forget to like and subscribe to the podcast, it really does help us get the word out. And a final big thank you to our sponsor Maynard Marks. You can find out more at www.maynardmarks.co.nz  We hope you enjoy.
