Tauranga’s status as one of the fastest growing New Zealand cities in the late 1990s and early 2000s means that many of our region’s dwellings were built during an era now synonymous with the construction of leaky buildings.
Our Civil Litigation department is one of the largest in the Bay of Plenty and within it we have a team of lawyers dedicated to dealing with leaky building work, both in the Tribunal and the Courts. With Tribunal work we tailor the extent of our involvement to each client’s needs, recognising that the Tribunal is not a forum which necessarily requires the presence of a lawyer at every step, unless that is what the client wants.
We routinely act on behalf of claimants; development companies and their directors; construction companies and their directors; architects and sub-trades.
We offer:
- An up to date working knowledge of this area of the law – we constantly have a number of leaky building files on foot.
- A sound understanding of the applicable procedures in the Tribunal and the District/High Court.
- Access to a network of some of the best expert witnesses from the Bay of Plenty and Auckland to assist with and support your case.
- Firm reasoned advice aimed at achieving your best possible solution with measured input from your lawyers.
- A solid track record - including what we understand to be the largest settlement payout for a single dwelling claim in the Bay of Plenty.
If you have a leaky building issue please feel free to come in and meet with us for an initial no-obligation discussion.
