COVID-19 update - We are open!!
As a result of the announcement that New Zealand will be entering Level 2 this week, we are pleased to advise that our office will be back open to the public from Thursday 9am onwards.
We ask that all clients entering our office maintain at least a 1m distance from our staff and each other, and that you sanitise your hands on arrival (hand sanitiser will be available at the front desk).
This means that we can now resume face-to-face consultations with clients in person, and we can therefore take appointments for meetings with our advisers as normal. However, for anyone who wishes to continue social distancing as much as possible, we are still offering online Skype and Zoom meetings in addition to physical meetings. This option will be given to all clients upon booking, so please just let us know which option you prefer and we will be happy to accommodate your preference.
Thank you all for your continued support and we hope to see some of you this Thursday.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
