Brian has left the chambers to work from his home office, saving himself up to two hours commuting time a day but he can still arrange to see clients in the city. He will maintain a close association with Bastion Chambers. Brian’s new email address is bpcc@briancarter.nz and his only phone number is 021 356 366. For the time being, however, emails to his old email address will be forwarded on to his new address and phone calls to his landline number will be diverted to his cellphone.
