We are a specialist law firm with a strong focus on public, constitutional, and Treaty of Waitangi law. We advise and represent clients in matters involving local and central government, statutory and Crown entities, and broader public decision-making processes. Our public law practice includes civil litigation, judicial review, strategic advocacy and lobbying, select committee engagement, and support for media- and community-based campaigns. We also advise on human rights and international law matters, both domestically and in international forums.

We have extensive expertise in Treaty of Waitangi litigation, acting before the Waitangi Tribunal, High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court, including in complex and high-stakes constitutional and tikanga-based claims.

In addition, we provide comprehensive commercial and civil litigation services, including business and trust establishment, partnership and shareholder arrangements, commercial negotiations, and the protection of director and shareholder rights.

Our practice also encompasses environmental and natural resources law, with particular expertise in coastal and marine area issues. We regularly act in submissions and proceedings before local authorities, the Environment Court, and the general civil courts.
