The firm has considerable expertise in providing representation before the Waitangi Tribunal and the Maori Land Court, and assisting with the negotiation process. Claims may be brought about for breaches of the Treaty, which affects Maori. Claims are often brought by aggrieved whanaus, hapus and iwis. The firm is able to provide assistance with the formulation of the claims and represent a claimant before the Tribunal where required or provide basic advice on the process, where only this may be required. Our lawyers will also accommodate meetings at maraes or other suitable venues where a number of claimants wish to consult them prior to filing any claims with the Tribunal.
