  • Subject Notes
    Nicholson Gribbin was an early Auckland legal firm that later changed its name to Phillips Nicholson. Today it practises under the name Phillips Fox. Oliver Nicholson was admitted to the practice in 1886 and some time in the 1890s he entered into partnership with Edmund Augustus McKechnie. Subsequently, Nicholson was joined by George Arthur Gribbin. Phillips Nicholson acted for Edward Earle Vaile in his bequests to the Auckland War Memorial Museum.
