How we check listings
Last updated: 28 October 2026
1. Where listing details come from
Each lawyer's name, role, office address, practice areas and short description come from their profile on the firm's own website. Every profile links to that source page, marked "Source profile". We don't list virtual or appointment-only offices.
2. The register check
Lawyers in New Zealand must hold a practising certificate from the New Zealand Law Society. Before a lawyer is added, we look them up on the Law Society's register and only list them if the entry shows a current practising certificate. Each profile shows the date of the check.
A listing is a snapshot — lawyers move firms and their status can change — so please check the lawyer on the register yourself before you hire them.
3. What we don't publish
- We don't publish star ratings, reviews or testimonials, and we never write them ourselves.
- No "best" or "top-rated" badges. We don't rank lawyers by quality.
- Years of experience only when the firm publishes the admission year; otherwise "Not published".
- No one can pay to appear or to be shown higher.
4. Legal facts on our pages
Legal facts on our New Zealand pages — time limits, court limits, fees, which court or tribunal handles what — are read on official sources such as the Ministry of Justice, Employment New Zealand and the legislation itself. They were last checked on 28 October 2026. If a figure can't be confirmed on an official source, we leave it out and link to the official page. Nothing on the site is legal advice.
5. Reporting a mistake
If you spot something wrong, email lawvoo12@gmail.com with the page link and we'll check it and correct it. Lawyers can update or remove their listing at any time.
