Law We Don't Cover

The areas of law we do not cover include civil litigation, resource management, employment law, and criminal law.

However for existing clients, we can access expert legal advice on complex legal issues from our network of specialist lawyers around New Zealand. With our reasonable rates, this arrangement can often result in better overall representation for lower cost, than engaging a more expensive lawyer for the whole case.
