Testimonials

"LEGAL PLANiT has, assisted us with various projects over the past 3 years including a management buy-out of our business; the establishment of trusts for our directors; and the sale and leaseback of our premises. Throughout our relationship they have provided us with the perfect blend of professionalism and informality, while consistently excelling at giving us sound advice and a great, professional and cost effective service. You could not ask for more personable people to act for you in a professional capacity and to be on your side. They explain everything in terms that are easily understood and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to colleagues and friends."

Bruce Le Pine, Company Director, Commercial Print Limited

"LEGAL PLANiT handled the legal aspects of the sale of our family home and the purchase of our new home. Both transactions became a little more complicated than expected, due to delays in settlement of our sale and then issues revealed by a building inspection of the new property. Our expectations that LEGAL PLANiT complete the transactions efficiently as well as ensuring the best possible results were achieved, were fully met. In addition LEGAL PLANiT approached us on their own initiative with suggestions on ways to improve our result. We enjoyed LEGAL PLANiT's 'no fuss' approach coupled with the sense that the firm had a clear understanding of what we wanted to achieve. LEGAL PLANiT communicated regularly with us as each milestone was reached, and from time to time to let us know how things were moving along throughout the transactions."

"LEGAL PLANiT assisted me with the purchase of my franchise business. The documentation was substantial and complex, but LEGAL PLANiT was able to provide me with an easily understandable and detailed summary of its effect. They were also able to negotiate a number of amendments to the documentation that were to my benefit, including deletion of the clauses saving me from paying the franchisor's legal fees!"

Carl Beentjes, Company Director, Need a Nerd Wellington

"LEGAL PLANiT has supported FX Networks in the rollout and construction of its network by providing us with accurate and timely advice in respect of our extensive property work, as well as security issues in respect of our Banking partner.

LEGAL PLANiT are a cost effective legal solution for FX Networks, who enable us to ensure that we provide our network base with the best possible outcomes in respect to its easements and installations. Negotiating easements and leases can be tricky and fraught with issues. LEGAL PLANiT always works hard to come up with a practical solution which will satisfy both parties."

Derek Locke, Director, FX Networks Limited

"I asked LEGAL PLANiT to assist me with the purchase of an apartment in a ‘yet to be built’ development. LEGAL PLANiT went so much further than just providing me with a summary of the potential issues. They were able to negotiate specific amendments to the contract which provided a fair and reasonable outcome for both parties. Also, in my absence, they were able to overcome some last minute hurdles which meant that the contract could go unconditional.  All with the minimum of fuss.

LEGAL PLANiT know their stuff, but the thing that I like most about working with them is that you are welcomed as a friend and not just a client."

“I have pleasure in providing a reference for Lauchie Griffin and his team at LEGAL PLANiT. This is not just another law firm. I have been impressed over a number of years by this extremely well organised firm which is highly innovative and leads the field in their use of new technologies so they can be as efficient and cost effective as possible for their clients. I value their high level of integrity, empathy with my individual needs, prompt response to requests and thoughtful solutions recommended. I have no hesitation in both personally using their services and recommending them to others."

David Walshaw, Company Director, Olive Grower and Marketer.

“Through mutual clients I have worked with Lauchie over a number of years.

With the knowledge and systems he has in place, I feel confident referring clients to him.

I know they will get excellent advice. And, he's a good guy too!”

Paul Pettit, Director, Curtis McLean Limited

“I have used LEGAL PLANiT for several transactions and found the business to be both innovative and able to meet my legal requirements in a modern way. Both Lauchie Griffin and Adele Hollis are warm and friendly people, have a great ability to listen and there is always a sense that there is as much time as I need. Advice given to me has always been practical, possible options given and responses are in clear language rather than legal jargon.

In addition, communication is a major strength of the business. Instead of endless trips into the office, many transactions have been by email or text. However, at any time I have felt welcome to call or visit to discuss thoughts or issues.

On a practical level, Lauchie and Adele are always reliable, prompt with sharing information and clear about what they need from me in order to meet my legal needs. While there is a sense of informality on a personal level, on a business level LEGAL PLANiT has a high degree of professionalism.

I highly recommend LEGAL PLANiT as a legal firm for the twenty-first century and look forward to continuing to work with the business over a prolonged period of time.”
