Lower Hutt, New Zealand

Gillespie Young Watson is a Wellington based law firm that specialises in Property, Commercial and Trust Law.

By concentrating on specialist areas, the firm provides clear, practical and timely advice to clients facing complex property, business and private client matters.

GYW places a premium on accessibility and convenience, with lawyers available at three offices and a philosophy of working with clients rather than for them.

With a private client focus that includes Trusts, Wills and Estates and Elder Law, together with a robust Property and Commercial practice, Gillespie Young Watson supports clients through all stages of life and business. The firm operates HomeLegal, its dedicated residential conveyancing division, to streamline house purchases and related transactions, while its Corporate and Commercial practice handles business acquisitions, shareholder agreements and financing structures.
