Testimonials

Sarah Zellman assisted us with an insurance dispute post 2023 Auckland weather events. We turned to Sarah for help after feeling ignored and hard done by. Sarah quickly got up to speed with our case and presented sound advice and a game plan to move forward with. She demonstrated a clear understanding of insurance and EQC Law and was confident with legal strategies. Her communication throughout was excellent and had the ability to press insurance managers in a professional manner. We felt listened to, she was compassionate and stood by our side during a difficult time. Her involvement ultimately led to an outcome which we couldn’t have achived alone. Sarah also assisted us with communications to Auckland Council, having well established contacts meant we received timely responses and updates. Thank you to Sarah and the team at Grimshaw & Co.

I am incredibly grateful to Gareth from Grimshaw and Co for the exceptional representation he provided during my request for early acquisition with Auckland Transport. From our initial consultation to the final resolution, Gareth demonstrated a deep understanding of the law, clear communication, and a commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me. He was not only professional, and skilled but also friendly and compassionate, which made a significant difference during a challenging time. Gareth navigated the complexities of my case with ease, always keeping me informed and confident throughout the process. He exceeded every expectation I had of a lawyer and I highly recommend him to anyone in need of expert legal assistance. Thank you, Gareth, for your dedication and hard work.

It gives me the greatest pleasure to write this testimonial for Mr Gareth Lewis, Partner of Grimshaw & Co Lawyers.

Our company has been dealing with Gareth for more than 20 years and he has been, and continues to be, a fantastic adviser in relation to our New Zealand operations.

His expertise, knowledge and experience, particularly New Zealand Employment Laws which we rely on so heavily in our day-to-day business operations, and notwithstanding all other aspects of legal advice that we regularly seek is dealt with in a most professional and expert manner.

Thank you, Gareth, I will always trust your judgement and advise and look forward to continuing our business relationship for many more years to come.

Gareth Lewis came to my aid after a council land giveway caused a significant slip in my backyard, putting my home at risk of sliding down the hill into the reserve during the Auckland Flood in January 2023.

Gareth was a true lifeline during a time of immense stress and uncertainty. He demonstrated professionalism, friendliness, and expertise in negotiating with EQC, significantly increasing the payout from a very low initial amount to a much more reasonable figure. His deep understanding of EQC and insurance regulations, combined with his collaboration with a recommended Geotech, facilitated a successful technical negotiation with EQC and insurance.

I wholeheartedly recommend Gareth and his firm for any future needs.

“We have engaged Grimshaw & Co for the best part of a decade. Over that time, we have had the pleasure of working closely with their dedicated Team, witnessing first hand their focus on delivering exceptional results for their clients. The detail in preparing our claim was thorough and meticulous.

We are one of the largest watertightness claims in the Country. That comes with a particular set of challenges for Owners, Tax Payers and Rate Payers. It was very important to us that at all times our representation be conducted with utmost integrity. The Grimshaw Team delivered that faultlessly.

They are a very transparent and detail focused Team, providing insightful and strategic advice. They have always been available to discuss our concerns, incredibly responsive and ensuring a bespoke approach to our unique circumstances. There has been an enormous financial and emotional toll on our owners, of which the Team have been respectful and acted as an Advocate for our owners throughout the process.

The Grimshaw Team have epitomised professionalism and outstanding work ethic. Countless evenings and weekends were sacrificed for our cause. We are eternally grateful to each and every one of their dedicated Team.

It is without hesitation we would recommend the services of the Grimshaw Team. We welcome and encourage any enquiries, please feel free to contact us at any time.”
