James & Wells has announced that Kate Wilson will retire from the firm’s partnership in March 2016 to pursue a joint venture with her husband that will enable her to indulge her passion for food, wine and the arts. In a statement, the firm notes that Wilson’s passion has taken a back seat over the years, although she has still managed to publish a cookbook, appear on Masterchef New Zealand and exhibit and sell her paintings. Wilson will continue to consult for the firm following her retirement from the partnership. She is retiring after 28 years with the firm.
