From buying your first home to large-scale developments, our property law experts handle every stage with precision and practicality – giving you clear, strategic advice to protect your investment and keep your project moving forward.
Residential Property
Buying or selling a home is one of life’s most significant decisions, and for developers and builders, is a core part of their business. Our residential property specialists provide practical, trustworthy advice at every step – whether you’re buying or building your first home, trading up, buying an investment property or are looking to develop or build new homes to add to New Zealand’s housing supply. We’ve learned from several decades of experience that our clients want to feel involved in the process and know that their interests are protected every step of the way.
Commercial & Industrial Property
Our commercial and industrial property experts have vast experience and have acted on some of New Zealand’s biggest property deals, giving clients confidence in every project. From buying and selling industrial, retail and commercial properties to leasing and new developments, we provide strategic advice and pragmatic solutions that are tailored to your specific goals and requirements.
Agricultural & Horticultural
Farm and orchard transactions require specialist knowledge, careful planning and collaborative expertise. Our team has been trusted by rural Bay of Plenty clients for generations. We will guide you through buying, selling, financing, leasing and structuring rural property transactions, while navigating the complex business and family considerations that are often involved in these matters.
Subdivisions & Developments
We provide legal expertise for projects of any scale, from two lot subdivisions and boundary adjustments through to large, multi-staged residential and commercial developments. With nationwide experience acting for leading group home builders and institutional developers, we manage all legal aspects of a subdivision from site selection and due diligence to land acquisition, financing, resource management, infrastructure funding agreements, inter-developer agreements , obtaining new titles, pre-sales and sell-downs. We ensure that every legal detail is handled efficiently so your project can progress and your investment delivers results.
Building & Construction
Complex construction projects demand careful planning, strong contracts, and clear legal oversight. We support clients with all aspects from procurement and pre-contract negotiations through to contract management and resolving disputes. We ensure projects stay on track, risks are managed, and outcomes meet commercial objectives – whether you’re delivering residential subdivisions, apartments, industrial premises or large-scale infrastructure.
Property Syndication
Property syndication gives investors the opportunity to own a share of premium commercial, rural or industrial properties that might otherwise be out of reach. We provide expert guidance in acquiring properties, forming, structuring and managing syndicates, ensuring compliance, clarity and strong governance at every stage. With decades of experience, we make complex transactions straightforward, transparent and rewarding for all involved.
Retirement Villages and Aged Care
Deciding to move into, or out of, a retirement village or aged care facility can involve a lot of paperwork. We help residents and their families understand their legal rights and obligations with regards to Occupation Right Agreements, Disclosure Statements and other village documentation, as well as reviewing or updating Wills and Powers of Attorney. For those entering aged care, our team provides advice on admission agreements and applications for rest home care subsidies.
We also help retirement village operators develop, register and manage new villages, prepare easy-to-understand documentation, and handle conditional applications and settlements with incoming residents.
