About

Our focus has always been finding clients the best solution possible.

It’s about the person and the best possible outcome, considering the law.

Rachel has always been actively involved in the community including sitting on boards and committees, such as the Dunedin Night Shelter, Womens’ Refuge/Te Whare Pounamu, Hospice Otago, Hospice NZ Board, Disability Information Services and SPCA Otago.

Instead of advising on what you cannot do to fix a problem, we endeavour to provide advice on how best to achieve the solution you need.

We see our role as partly relieving you of the stress and worry when involved in legal issues with your staff, or your employer.

You can be assured that we will assist with any process, knowing that we have your best interests at heart, with the aim of getting you the best result possible.
