What we can't help with in New Zealand

Sprintlaw NZ is a legal consultancy, not a law firm. Our Australian-qualified lawyers aren't admitted in New Zealand, so we stay out of the reserved areas of work under the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act 2006.

Leases and property

Commercial and retail leases, subleases, lease assignments, licences to occupy and other property transactions.

Buying or selling a business

Business and share sale agreements, purchase packages and due diligence on a business you're buying.

Courts, tribunals and disputes

Advice on running or bringing a claim, and anything before a court or tribunal such as the Disputes Tribunal or the Employment Relations Authority.

Other areas

Relationship property agreements, trusts that hold land, wills and estates, immigration, patents, and tax or financial advice.

If your matter involves any of these, we can point you to an independent New Zealand lawyer, who you would engage directly.

What we can help with

Everyday commercial legal work for New Zealand businesses, on fixed fees. For example, we can't review your lease, but we can draft your supplier contracts and staff agreements for the new site.
