NOT YOUR ORDINARY LAWYERS

We are a boutique modern law firm based in Hamilton that prides itself on exceptional service with strong ethical and professional dedication.

​Our lawyers communicate in a language you can understand and concentrate on practical and effective solutions that are unique to your needs, producing results.

OUR APPROACH

At SD Legal we actively engage with our clients and make it a priority to 

keep them up to date every step of the way. We believe this is an essential ingredient

in building long-term relationships, which we intend to have with all our clients.

​We are a firm believer of the idiom "the devil is in the detail". Carefully considering all

information allows us to fully maximise the potential of a matter while mitigating the risks.

SD Legal is structured in a way that embraces technology, improving

the high quality service we will provide to you. Although we operate using

the latest technology to maximise efficiency and security, we utilise simple 

organisational structures which keep our fees low and our results high.

​We have offices at two convenient locations - Hamilton CBD and Rototuna.
