Resource Management Act and Environmental Issues
We help property owners, developers, neighbours and other parties affected by resource consent applications, submitters, survey companies, design-houses, and architects with all their resource management issues.
What sets us apart is our ability to achieve great outcomes cost-effectively through alternative dispute resolution processes such as mediation. We are able to help you at short notice and are happy to meet with you on-site. This gives us a full appreciation for the issues you are facing.
We also regularly appear at all levels of the Court system including the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court, and have a proven track record of getting great outcomes for our clients.
