We have decades of specialist experience in property and provide practical, cost-effective advice on a wide range of property matters. We are happy to assist everyone from young people buying their first home to seasoned professionals engaged in the sale and purchase of commercial properties and large-scale developments.

Our property services include expert guidance for buying and selling homes, investment properties, and rural land. We also assist with subdivisions, unit titles, body corporates, and all aspects of commercial property, from leasing through to development projects. Support with refinancing and property structuring is also available.

Our business and commercial clients range from sole traders and start-ups to national-scale enterprises. We can advise you on general matters like Governance and Health and Safety Compliance, as well as giving tailored advice on mitigating risk, managing day-to-day contracts, and ensuring that your employment obligations are met. We can also advise on Family Estate Planning where that intersects with your business activities.

We assist businesses at every stage, from start-ups through to sales, purchases, and leases. Our expertise covers agribusiness, insurance, company restructuring, shareholder disputes, receiverships and liquidations, as well as intellectual property matters. We also advise on forestry rights and compliance with the Emissions Trading Scheme under the Climate Change Response Act.

We act for clients engaged in a wide range of civil disputes. Our civil law services cover contract disputes, debt collection, property and building disputes, business and franchise disputes, insolvency, trust and will disputes, negligence claims, breaches of privacy, insurance matters, and judicial reviews.

We provide clear advice and representation across civil matters such as debt recovery, contract disagreements, insolvency issues including company liquidations and bankruptcies, as well as earthquake-related claims and EQC disputes. Our goal is to resolve issues efficiently while protecting your interests.

We help employers and employees avoid issues with practical, strategic employment relationship advice. We also assist in navigating your obligations with robust advice regarding processes and procedures.

Our team provides trusted support across all aspects of employment law, from drafting and reviewing agreements to handling personal grievances, unjustified dismissal claims, and redundancies. We also represent clients before the Employment Relations Authority and Employment Court, ensuring their rights and obligations are clearly protected.

We understand that family disputes demand an empathetic, balanced approach. We focus on finding pragmatic solutions that are in the best interests of our clients and minimise the stress of the process in what is often an emotionally charged time.

Our family law services cover a wide range of situations, including relationship property disputes, separation and dissolution, parenting and care arrangements, protection orders, and claims under the Family Protection Act. We provide sensitive yet practical guidance to help you navigate these challenges with confidence.

Our intent is to establish protection for your assets that matches your long-term goals. If you’ve been named the executor of a will, we can help you understand your legal obligations and ensure that the client's instructions and wishes are correctly recorded. We can also assume an Enduring Power Of Attorney to protect personal and property rights while our client is still alive, but unable to act in their own best interests.

In addition, we assist with the full range of estate and asset planning services, including preparing wills, enduring powers of attorney, and trusts. We also advise on claims under the Family Protection Act and the Testamentary Promises Act, guide you through estate administration, and help with welfare or property management orders.

We represent clients in criminal charges relating to driving and traffic violations.

We aim to help you achieve favourable outcomes cost-effectively. Our team is highly experienced in the use of alternative dispute resolution, including mediation and arbitration. If litigation is the only option, we have a track record of obtaining exceptional results for our clients in a wide range of matters. We can represent you in the various tribunals, the District Court, Family Court, Employment Court, High Court, and the Court of Appeal. In all instances, we ensure the most cost-effective strategy is used.

We provide constructive strategies to resolve conflicts through mediation, arbitration, or formal court processes. Our expertise covers shareholder disputes, judicial reviews, intellectual property matters, insurance claims, and health and safety issues, ensuring each case is handled with practical and effective solutions.
