Specialist legal and business solutions for the property and construction sectors
It's not a matter of "if"... it's a matter of "when"
At some point, you'll be at risk of losing money due to stuff that is within the legal side of doing business. It's not a matter of if... it's a matter of when.
​
We know this because of decades of experience working with clients everyday and seeing people who have worked hard to build up their businesses lose money when they don't have to. There are legal tools to protect you. You just need to know what they are, and how to use them.
​
This is where we come in.
About us
We are expert legal and business consultants, who specialise in helping small to medium businesses in the property and construction industries.
​
What does that mean?
​
It means we’ve got your back as far as the law goes, but we are much, much more than this. We don’t just tell you what the law is - we tell you how to put it into practice. We cut through the legal jargon, and focus on advising you on your systems and operations so that you can actually use all the legal tools at your disposal.
Although our legal consultants don't hold active New Zealand practising certificates and so aren't called lawyers, they do have extensive experience gained from decades of practising law and providing both legal and business advice.
Our decision not to operate as a traditional law firm gives us the flexibility to offer a wider range of services, including business advice alongside legal consultation. This approach enables us to deliver specialised legal expertise to meet the diverse needs of our clients.
