ABOUT US
In May 2023 the 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 along with offices situated in Richmond and Nelson.
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.
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.
