Jacob Rosevear

Wigley & Company are pleased to welcome Jacob to the team. Jacob recently started work as a Law Clerk, following a year of travel and work overseas. He graduated with a Bachelor of Laws from Victoria University at the end of 2005, after spending the first three years of his studies at Otago University.

His practice areas include legal research; review of Master Agreements, Service Level Agreements, Software Licenses, Schedules, and Terms and Conditions; and assisting in the drafting of Terms and Conditions, Service Descriptions, and Order Forms.

Outside of legal work Jacob has a strong interest in active pursuits and their education: he is a registered personal trainer; has coached various sports teams; and is presently teaching salsa dance classes in Wellington. Over Easter 2007 he performed solo at the inaugural NZ Pacific Salsa Congress and was invited to be an international guest performer at the Australian Salsa Classic held in the Sydney Town Hall.
