ABOUT US

In May 2023 the Richmond law firm known as Knapps Lawyers was dis-established and the law firm you see today was formed. With this change, Atkinson Crehan Law has maintained our association with Hamish Kennedy (formerly of Kennedy & Associates) enabling us to continue our strong connection to the Motueka region. Our lawyers provide specialist legal services for a wide range of clients, both individuals and corporations across the Nelson and Tasman region.

Our Values Underpin our Work

We believe in doing things the R.I.G.H.T. way. We do this through being:

Rigorous – ensuring we follow rules, guidelines and behaviours
Innovative – identifying creative ways to work that have the least impact on people and the environment, but the most impact on positive outcomes
Giving – the right advice, in the right way
Honest – in all our dealings
Thorough – in everything we do.

We work in with your legal needs

Sometimes you need to plan well ahead of time. At other times things come out of the blue that need to be dealt with now. Whatever your situation, we are here to help.

Our Commitment to You

PEOPLE

We genuinely care about our clients and want to do our best for you. We are proud of what we do and how we do it. We aim to make a positive difference when you come and see us.

PRESENCE

We have a strong regional presence in the top of the South Island of New Zealand. But walking in the door is not the only way you can reach us. Because we embrace technology, we can help you no matter where you are situated.

ADAPTABILITY

We recognise that some people like working with technology and others prefer face to face communication. Whatever your preference, we can accommodate you.

How our fees are charged

We understand that uncertainty about legal fees can be a huge worry for clients. We have tried to take some of that worry away by offering different ways of pricing our services.

We will give you our best estimate once we have taken your full instructions and agreed with you what work needs to be done. We will review that estimate regularly with you and advise you if we think it is going to be exceeded.

For ongoing matters such as large commercial transactions and some dispute resolution, we can discuss with you a price for each stage of the job before moving onto the next stage.

For more complex matters our fees will be charged as set out in Our Service Promise but we will do our best to give you an indication of the likely overall cost.
