Mike Pero wins fight with law firm

The decision by Buddle Findlay to act for MPM while still acting for Mike Pero in Christchurch was first challenged by Pero back in June, he said.

"I raised the conflict of interest immediately when I heard they had decided to act for and against me. I thought from the beginning they could not possibly be serious.

"I spent weeks trying to persuade Buddle Findlay against what I considered to be unethical," he said.
