Our Difference

Since 1912, Macalister Mazengarb has been providing first-rate legal services to Wellington and the rest of New Zealand.

Our difference?

We combine the resources to tackle complex legal challenges and a commitment to keeping things personal and accessible. With over a century of practice, we offer the expertise and resources of a large firm, while maintaining the accessibility, responsiveness and personalised service that distinguish smaller firms. We ensure that you receive first-rate legal services and always have a familiar face or voice available to guide you through the complexities of the New Zealand legal system.

This blend of big-firm capability and small-firm accessibility makes navigating the legal system less of a headache and more of a journey we take together.

We are proud of our team of dedicated lawyers, legal executives and secretaries who are committed to making your experience as smooth and positive as possible. Many of our team members hail from diverse educational backgrounds and from regions across all of New Zealand. This enhances our ability to approach legal challenges from multiple perspectives, ensuring well-rounded and effective solutions for our clients.

Our close-knit approach has another great benefit—cost efficiency. We thoughtfully structure our service delivery to balance expertise, experience and cost-effectiveness, so that our services remain accessible without sacrificing quality. When you choose us, you are not just taking legal advice; you are partnering with a team that is fully invested in your success and remains mindful of your unique circumstances.
