Specialists in local government law

Connected to you and your communities

The decisions local authorities make impact how communities live. That means experience counts, and legal advice must be informed by in-depth knowledge of local government law.

But, more importantly, advice must work for your community and be future-focused. That requires a home-grown team that hits the ground running and can provide a course of action that reflects your goals.

We provide expert and innovative advice in the following areas:

  • Regulatory compliance and enforcement
  • Resource management
  • Governance advisory
  • Civil litigation
  • Infrastructure funding
  • Property
  • Climate change advisory and litigation

Local, connected and dynamic

Experience counts, but communication is key

We don’t see ourselves as the hired help. We are part of your team – and we act accordingly. Phone calls, email, proactive visits without passing on travel cost – you can always expect us to work hard on building personal connections and relationships.

A proactive approach for better communities

We work with our clients to resolve disputes – before they have a chance to become problems. That’s why we’re always future-focused – it’s what drives us to seek new ways to deliver solutions and value.

Mobile and agile team

Our work takes us all over New Zealand, and we like it that way. It means we’re accessible from anywhere at any time, making it easy to stay connected with you. Our team is purposely lean and nimble so we can adapt to your goals quickly.

Better results together

We like to push the envelope – finding new ways to solve problems is in our DNA. We collaborate, get creative and do what it takes to get you the best resolution.
