Construction &
Building Disputes
Defective Buildings
Defective buildings are part of New Zealand’s reality. The problems have evolved from weathertightness issues or ‘leaky buildings’ to include inadequacies in structure and fire protection systems.
Property Issues
Property issues can be wide ranging and difficult to navigate. We have extensive experience in property related matters and an impressive network to ensure you get the appropriate assistance from the outset.
Body Corporates

This area of the law presents a myriad of issues and is not surprisingly specialist area. It can therefore be a minefield for the uninitiated.
Contractual Disputes
Disputes between contracting parties is fairly common place. How best to navigate these disputes effectively and achieve the desired result may not always be simple.

Insolvency has its own technicalities and peculiarities which are often not properly appreciated or understood. Jeanne Heatlie specialised in insolvency for many years and has experience in many international jurisdictions.
