Auckland is a New Zealand’s biggest city and there are probably more Auckland lawyers than anywhere else in the country. This doesn’t make choosing the best lawyer for you any easier!

Auckland is such a large city you may want to choose an Auckland lawyer based on their location.  Having a lawyer near you in North Shore or Manakau can save you lot of commute time and parking fines. If you need a lawyer for a simple case such as setting up a business or for some simple advice then I think this is the way to go.

If on he other hand you want a lawyer who specializes in criminal law or divorce law - then you may want to choose a law practice where the solictors specialise in the type of advice you want.

If you need a lawyer for a court appearance in the Auckland District or Auckland High Court then you need to find a barrister who does this type of work.

As whenever you are seeking specialist advice you really should establish the lawyers charges right up front. Sometimes you will get a brief initial meeting with the Auckland lawyer of your choice and then he or she will detail the costs likely to be involved. Remember most New Zealand lawyers charge extra for such items as faxes and postage.

Also if you already have an accountant check out whether that firm has a lawyers as well, or a preferably law firm that they often work with. This can make things easier on all sides
