Voices: Mai Chen, Lawyer

She is a dynamo, driven by her own immigrant experience she relishes fighting for the underdog. Founding partner of ChenPalmer, the Public and Employment Law Specialists, Mai Chen described one of her proudest moments in our legal history as being able to give New Zealand women the right to go into combat within our armed forces. Lynda Chanwai-Earle travels across the North Island to meet the woman behind an extraordinary career, celebrating 20 years of Public Employment Law.
