What you should know about LE PINE AND CO
For over 60 years Le Pine Co has been offering legal services to the people and businesses of Taupo and the Central Plateau, becoming the largest practice in Taupo and one of the leading law firms in the region.
There were no solicitors in Taupo apart from a retired solicitor Garnet Arrowsmith who no longer practiced and Tiny Le Pine was increasingly called upon to establish an office in Taupo. The Borough was finally constituted under the Municipal Corporations Act in 1954. Under the guidance of its Taupo partners the office later became an independent legal practice. The 'Le Pine' name has now been associated with the practice of law in Taupo for over 60 years, and reflects the standing of Le Pine Co as one of Taupo's early pioneering businesses.
The reputation of Le Pine Co is largely attributable to the constant, the name Le Pine , and the long service and commitment of both John Corry and Marian Glazewski. In 2003, the firm celebrated 50 years of continuous service to clients in the Central North Island area. While other firms have come and gone through this time, Le Pine Co has been a constant presence, acting for many of the original settler families. Today Le Pine Co continues with a forward looking spirit, but with a special regard for its role in Central Plateau commerce and communities and the contributions made to the practice by its staff and valued clients over many years.
The partners and staff lost a dear colleague in John Corry, who passed away on Saturday 11 June 2011. The following is adapted from John's website profile prepared approximately 1 year before he passed away. John was appointed a Notary Public by the Court of Faculties, London in 1956. At the time it seemed more than coincidental that he was appointed as a Notary shortly after a director of the Rolls Royce company visited Taupo to fish and was put to some inconvenience by the absence of a resident Notary.
John began his career at the Head Office Legal Services of the State Advances Corporation while studying for his degree. This involved travelling to Taupo on Court days as there was no permanent solicitor in Taupo. John has also worked overseas where he sat as a Magistrate in the Hong Kong courts for 3 years. He continued to assist clients in a variety of property and business areas up until May 2011.
He recalled that the role of a lawyer was more of a vocation and that due to the pressures of modern society the practice of law has changed to be less so now. Sadly, our long term business colleague and friend Marian Glazewski passed away on Friday 16 May. He was a remarkable and dedicated solicitor, friend, and a truly most gentle man who unhesitatingly and selflessly lent his wisdom, guidance and mentoring to many of the solicitors practicing in Taupo, whether at Le Pine Co or not. Perhaps that start in life and the humble Polish family in which he was raised in New Zealand imbued Marian with a relentless drive for perfection and order, characteristics that dominated his professional and personal life, for those that knew or had dealings with him his reminder tickler box system was a marvel to behold .
