Education Law 

We offer comprehensive first-hand knowledge and practical understanding of the NZ early childhood, school and tertiary sectors.

We are expert at finding legal solutions that recognise and respect the specific contexts in which employers and employees in the education sector operate. We work closely alongside our clients and believe first and foremost in constructive solutions that are conducive to ongoing relationships, but if such a solution is not possible, we are not afraid to give effective, practical advice on litigation options.​
