Wynn Williams’ partners Amanda Douglas and Lucy de Latour join a select group of female lawyers recognised by NZ Lawyer in its Elite Women List for 2023.
NZ Lawyer’s Elite Women of 2023 are the legal profession’s leading lights due to their drive and determination to make a lasting positive impact on the field and within their respective communities.
While this year’s esteemed female lawyers have excelled in diverse areas of law and carved out a unique career path, their dedication to uplifting others and advocating for worthwhile causes inspires colleagues and creates new benchmarks.
