Rainey Collins Lawyers

Welcome

Rainey Collins Lawyers act for institutions and individuals, advising and assisting clients in many areas of the law.

Challenging a Will

You need to know what to do. We specialise in estates and Wills. It can be devastating and unfair to be left out of a Will or not adequately provided for.

Employment Law

Acting for both employers and employees, we can advise on how to get the best possible outcomes.

Business Advice

We assist with the establishment and effective maintenance of companies, trusts and a whole range of business structures.

Property Sale & Purchase

We specialise in assisting clients with buying and selling property, both for personal residence and investment.

Maori Legal Issues

Our extensive experience in representing Maori individuals, whanau, hapu, iwi and organisations enables us to focus on the relevant issues and assist with sensible solutions.

Family Law

We specialise in a wide range of family law matters including issues that arise from relationships, both in separation situations and asset protection.

Commercial Law

We provide practical advice on commercial contracts including drafting and negotiating, on commercial structures, purchases and sales of businesses and corporate governance.

Unit Titles

We advise on all aspects of unit titled properties or apartments, including for buyers, sellers and Bodies Corporate. Our expert property team can give clear advice about the requirements of the applicable law including the rules about disclosure required under the Unit Titles Act.

Privacy and Data Protection

The new Privacy Act 2020 came into force on 1 December 2020, replacing the Privacy Act 1993. Now more than ever, it is essential for businesses and organisations that collect, hold, and use personal information to make sure they comply with their obligations under the new Act.
