FAQs
In New Zealand, a lawyer practices as either a solicitor or a barrister.
Solicitors are usually your first point of contact when you need legal advice, or if you need help preparing wills and contracts, and forming trusts. When you have more complex legal needs that require court representation, a solicitor will hand over to a barrister to appear in court on your behalf
Barristers are lawyers who specialise in court work.They have a sound knowledge of the rules of evidence and court procedures, and they don’t tend to do transactional work that solicitors do.
