About Legal Services in Auckland

Every lawyer practising in New Zealand must hold a current practising certificate from the New Zealand Law Society, and each one appears on the Law Society's public register with the areas of practice they choose to list. The register is the place to confirm a lawyer's standing.

LawyerFinder NZ reproduces register details as they stood when we last read the register, and links to each lawyer's entry so you can check it is still current. When choosing a lawyer, ask about their experience with matters like yours and what they will charge.
