BRUCE LOGAN IS ENJOYING SPENDING MORE TIME WITH HIS FAMILY AFTER HIS RETIREMENT IN JUNE FROM GIBSON SHEAT LAWYERS IN MASTERTON.

The changing of the seasons at Gibson Sheat Masterton

He’s been a familiar face around Masterton for a few years now, and a familiar and trusted voice to generations of Wairarapa families. When Bruce Logan finally decided to retire at the end of June 2021, many of his clients and Gibson Sheat colleagues disbelieved him. He’d been trying to retire for at least 18 months. Growing up on a Wairarapa farm, the law as a career featured strongly on both sides of his family – so it’s not surprising he developed an interest in rural law. With a career spanning nearly five decades in his own backyard, he fondly recollects the variety of work that he feels privileged to have been part of. “I always tried to appreciate that often a discussion with a client was about something life-changing for them so they deserved my best. In this regard, helping farming families achieve their farm succession goals has been particularly satisfying. “I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to work with and for so many genuine and loyal clients. That will stand out to me as a highlight of my time practising law in Masterton.” Bruce’s interest in his clients and desire to help are things that he holds as key to his success in a tight-knit community – and are part of his legacy of wisdom for the team at Gibson Sheat. “There are some really good people here at Gibson Sheat and I know that the people I have spent a lot of my life serving are in good hands with Julie, Aimee and the team. “Although I’ll miss the camaraderie in the office, I’m looking forward to more flexibility around when to go surfing, swimming, skiing or mountain biking, to pursuing my interest in gardening, and spending more time with my family. “But the personal changes arising from my retirement as a lawyer pale into insignificance alongside the changes currently being faced by members of the farming community, who are being required to make more changes than any other New Zealanders as a result of climate change. “Across the board we need to support both the young and the older members of the farming community as they come to terms with the changing future. “They deserve our understanding and support and I know the Gibson Sheat team will be there for them every step of the way.” Happy retirement Bruce – from Julie, Aimee the team at Gibson Sheat Lawyers Masterton.
