Edwin Arrison (chairperson of the Arabella Community Trust) was one of the principal negotiators in the Arabella Phase 2 negotiation process that resulted in the formation of the Arabella Community Trust. (ACT)
One of the people that helped them through this process was attorney Mariki Chin. “She offered her services pro bono, and she was absolutely brilliant,” says Edwin.
Mariki has a strong business background and could assist on several technical issues, thereby speeding up the negotiation process, resulting in the trust receiving 1% of all sales and resales and they managed to procure 5% on the net profit of the entire project.
