The best thing was the pricing – it was fixed and easy to understand. Megan kept me up to date through the process and was a pleasure to deal with.

How we started
There’s a flexible alternative to the traditional law firm business model that’s been emerging in Europe over the past few years, and it was first given a name in 2013 as ‘NewLaw’.
There are a few differences between ‘NewLaw’ legal practices and traditional old firms, being:
- How work is won;
- How work is done; and
- How the firm is run.
After working in traditional firms we decided we wanted to do things differently. We wanted moved away from expensive billable hours toward fixed fee and transparent pricing to drive efficiency and a better outcome for the client. We also wanted to structure the firm with an incentive toward reinvestment in the company and how it runs; to have a focus on long-term thinking and, most importantly, a ‘client first’ approach.
The idea for Nu Legal was borne from ‘NewLaw’.
One year later
… and Nu Legal was born:
- Transparent pricing and always fixed where possible.
- Flexible meeting times for busy clients.
- Great use of technology including using state of the art online ID verification to avoid lengthy and expensive Anti-money laundering checks.
- Utilising video and web meetings to get things done more quickly and to ensure COVID-19 lockdowns don’t affect timing.
One Year Later
We set up shop in the CBD at the beautiful offices of Victoria Park Markets.
We assisted hundreds of clients with their house purchases, sales and refinances; their trusts, their wills and enduring powers of attorney; their business matters and estate matters.
We donated numerous hours in both time and finance supporting the Native Forest Restoration Trust in restoring New Zealand’s native forests.
We’re continuing to welcome new clients, offer great services at very affordable prices, and to wrap up matters quickly for people just like you.
Watch this space…
More great things to come.

What our clients say
We found Megan extremely helpful when refinancing our mortgage. She was really easy to communicate with and outlined what we needed to do / provide in a way that made the whole process simple. We completed most of the process digitally, which saved a lot of time and unnecessary printing of documents. Megan came to our home at a time that worked for us; accommodating our work commitments and family commitments, which made the process a lot less painful and we appreciated her going the extra mile.

Client
Great communication, stress free and fast. We appreciated that Megan met with us outside of normal business hours to accommodate our work commitments.
