Family History NSG Memoir Postscript Part 3

1926 to 1976

Gaze Bond Carden and Munn, Barristers and Solicitors

Jubilee Brochure



In 1970 the firm lost another of its partners - but this time in happier circumstances - for Mr Turner was honoured by an appointment to Stipendiary Magistrate, This served to precipitate Mr David Carten's being made a partner in the firm a few months later. From this time on, the firm reached its present peak of expansion, with up to 21 people being employed.

Now, earlier in 1976, the firm has continued the pattern of change and progress with the inclusion of Mr David Munn into the partnership. Mr Munn has worked with the firm since 1972, first as a law clerk and then after he was admitted.

Nowadays there are six solicitors in the firm and each has a secretary. The firm employs a legal executive to assist the solicitors, and now needs to employ fulltime an Office Junior, a Search and Registration Clerk, a Receptionist, and a separate Accounts Department, consisting of an Accountant and a Burroughs Machine Operator.

Gaze, Bond, Carden and Munn looks back on the last fifty years as a time when, originating from the efforts of one man, it has taken its place in the ranks of Auckland's legal firms and, while this growth was not spectacular nor is its history flamboyant, by its quiet and steady pace of growth, Gaze, Bond, Carden and Munn is assured of its standing in Auckland law and looks forward to serving its clients for the next fifty years.
