Lane has won the respect of clients for his considered approach, and ability to overcome potential obstacles by structuring a lease that satisfies both tenant and landlord. He has negotiated large leases for government such as A Grade office space in the CBD for the Ministry of Justice and three separate sites for the Electoral Commission throughout the city. In the suburbs, his leases include prime space in sought after Burnside to Silver Fern Farms. Lane played semi-professional cricket in both England and Australia for several years.
