Our specialist team assists New Zealand and overseas-based clients with all their legal needs.
We make buying or selling a property easy, alerting you to any issues you may need to consider prior to entering into a binding sale and purchase agreement.
We can establish and administer trusts, prepare wills, handle matrimonial and partnership property issues, and administer estates for you.
We are sensitive to what our clients want and can help to manage the tensions that sometimes occur within families when discussing assets and individuals’ wishes.
We aim to maximise your wealth for the benefit of you and your chosen beneficiaries, by protecting your assets from potential claims of non-beneficiaries. We position your assets for easy transfer.
When the inevitable occurs, we help people through the stressful time following the death of a loved one, ensuring deceased estates are managed efficiently and that the person’s wishes are carried out.
