Tōtara Law is proud to be a staple of the West Auckland community. Formerly known as Thomas & Co, we have been around since 1966 when there were only two law offices in New Lynn and just six in West Auckland. We have roots in our community and a mission to provide a positive impact by helping our people and businesses with any and all of their legal requirements.
What you might need
Did you know 85% of disputes are settled outside of court?
We’re proud to say our New Lynn practice has been serving the West Auckland community since 1956.
In fact, in some instances we now work with the great-grandchildren of some of our initial clients, that’s how deep our relationships with clients go! Our friendly team of lawyers offers a range of legal services including property law and conveyancing, wills and estates, trusts, commercial leases, separation, divorce, and prenups.
