“To the heart of what matters”

Our tagline was developed just before the Canterbury earthquakes in 2011 and it saw us through those difficult times.

We are a New Zealand-owned company that has been serving our clients since 1948. Our aim is not only to provide sound legal advice, but to also find solutions which deliver the best practical outcome for those we represent.

Our history

Our founder Glyn Parry was joined in partnership by Brian Field in the early 1950s. Since the late 1970s Peter van Rij, Ken Lord and Grant Adams have each led the firm into a new period of growth. Today we have grown to 11 partners, around 80 staff and operate from four locations. Parry Field Lawyers incorporated as a company under the Companies Act 1993 on 1 July 2021.

To the heart of what matters

We see our clients in a rounded way and want to help them with ‘what really matters’, for legal services and beyond, where appropriate. With our growing team we are excited by what the future holds and look forward to continuing to provide exceptional legal services to our valued clients.

We have three firms based in Christchurch and one based in Hokitika.
