Our people

Our service is based on approachability and accessibility. Our lawyers are available to meet you in Wellington, Lower Hutt or Upper Hutt.

We are only a phone call away. We can meet you at any of our offices, your office, home, or at your favourite café if that is more convenient, the coffee is on us! We all know residential conveyancing inside out. It’s what we do. We recognise that every transaction is different and that if issues arise different problems require different solutions.
